FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Rookie quarterback Jacoby Brissett rushed for a 27-yard touchdown in the first quarter of the New England Patriots 27-0 win over the Houston Texans on Thursday night, and he personally delivered the football to coach Bill Belichick on the sideline after the play.After the game, Belichick delivered the ball back to Brissett in a behind-the-scenes celebratory moment in the locker room as the quarterback was awarded a game ball.I was just holding the ball for him. Thats his ball, his first touchdown ball, so that will go up on his trophy [case], Belichick said.It was the longest rushing touchdown by a Patriots quarterback since Steve Grogan scampered 41 yards for a score against the New York Jets on Oct. 18, 1976. Since 2001, the longest rush by a Patriots quarterback was 22 yards.Starting in place of the injured Jimmy Garoppolo, who was inactive with a right shoulder injury, Brissett finished 11-of-19 for 103 yards while adding 48 rushing yards on eight carries and the touchdown.He didnt turn the ball over as the Patriots played a field-position game and capitalized on the Texans mistakes by turning two forced fumbles on kickoff returns into touchdowns.Belichick was impressed with how Brissett, 23, rose up in prime time as the Patriots improved to 3-0 without the suspended Tom Brady.?I think he handled himself great -- last week, this week, all week, every day, Belichick said. Hes done nothing but come in here and work as hard as he possibly can. Hes just a hardworking kid thats really dedicated to doing whats right for the team and trying to improve. Im glad we have him.For his part, Brissett -- a third-round draft choice out of NC State at 91st overall -- confessed that he didnt have many nerves before the game.A lot of the veteran players stepped up and helped me a lot, just giving me confidence, the coaching staff gave me confidence, and everything went from there, he said.The coaching staff, led by offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, tailored the game plan to take advantage of Brissetts running ability -- he totaled 283 carries for 902 yards and 12 touchdowns at NC State (2014-15) and Florida (2011-12) -- by mixing some option-type plays into the attack.The 27-yard touchdown was one such example, as Brissett ran to his right and found plenty of room to that side.I was just running until I got stopped, so it worked out how we planned, and I just had to make one guy miss at the end zone, Brissett said.The touchdown helped the Patriots capitalize on good field position that was created when running back Brandon Bolden forced a fumble on a Charles James?kickoff return that was recovered by safety Duron Harmon at Houstons 22-yard line.A false start penalty on right tackle Marcus Cannon pushed the Patriots back to the 27, and thats when Brissett took off. He tucked the ball quickly after the snap and could have gone out of bounds near the end of the run but instead lowered his shoulder and powered his way into the end zone.Brissetts touchdown cost one Las Vegas sportsbook a decent sum.The QB was offered at 30-1 to score the games first touchdown at MGMs sportsbooks. Jay Rood, MGM vice president of race and sports, told ESPN that his shop took enough bets on Brissett to cause a five-figure loss.Lets just say we were not rooting for that, Rood said.The Patriots opened as a 2.5-point underdog earlier in the week at some books. The line moved in New Englands favor leading up to kickoff and ended up closing at Patriots minus-1 at the MGM and pick em at other sportsbooks.Despite the line movement toward the Patriots, the majority of the money bet was on the visiting Texans.At William Hills Nevada sportsbook, 61 percent of the money bet on the game was on the Texans. Sportsbook operator CG Technology and MGM reported similar action on Houston.If Pats hold on, all is good, Rood said before the game went final.ESPN staff writer David Purdum contributed to this report.

Gennady Golovkins Jekyll and Hyde persona has helped him become boxings biggest global star, according to the people who guide his career.A global audience of millions in over 100 countries will tune in live to watch boxings most entertaining fighter defend two (WBC and IBF) of his three world middleweight titles against Britains Kell Brook at the O2 Arena in London on Saturday.It is not just in his native Kazakhstan that Golovkin (35-0, 32 KOs) -- known as GGG -- is adored. He has a growing army of fans across his adopted homeland in America and millions watch his bouts in Mexico, where fight fans consider him one of their own.The 34-year-olds promoter Tom Loeffler has seen Golovkins fame grow since his company K2 Promotions took control of the boxers career in 2010.His popularity with each fight is growing dramatically and this fight will be shown live in over 100 countries, Loeffler told ESPN.When he sold out Madison Square Garden against David Lemieux it was a huge accomplishment for him and he was the first non-American to do that.But its not only New York. He sold out the Forum in Los Angeles, that was a big statement on where his popularity is at in the US. Usually in America boxers are only popular in one region, so thats a testament to his phenomenal popularity.I think it was over a million viewers for Gennadys fight against Martin Murray on Channel 5 and hes always been very popular in Mexico where 6.1 million saw his fight against Murray.One thing thats important to remember about Gennady is his international popularity. He has a universal appeal.This fight is the first time he has done a deal with RTL in Germany, one of the biggest networks there. So on an international level his popularity has been increasing. Hes very popular Japan for instance, they have shown every one of his fights. Hes a fans favourite in Latin America too.American fighters dont leave the U.S. to fight but its always been part of our plan to keep his international popularity and thats why he has fought in Monte Carlo three times, the Ukraine and Panama and now London.Loeffler believes Golovkins burgeoning popularity is not just because of his dazzling displays in the ring.Golovkin is winning over a U.S. audience despite limited -- but improving -- English and it seems every fight now is building up towards an epic encounter with Mexcian Saul Canelo Alvarez next year, unless Brook (36-0, 25 KOs) can upset the odds.A big part of it, even if he doesnt speak perfect English is his personality and respect for opponeents and the sport is why people generally like to cheer for him, Loeffler added.dddddddddddd lot of great boxers arent that likeable but like to cheer for Gennady and support him.Hes exciting inside the ring and hes likeable outside the ring as well. Its the Mike Tyson effect, fans just want to see him.His English is getting better and that certainly helps. He has lived in L.A. for the last year and half and he has trained in Big Bear (California) for the last six years. He is becoming more well known in America with each fight.Golovkin, who lives with his wife and eight-year-old son in California, avoids trash talking but fans still tune in as he brings knockouts.The WBC-IBF-WBA world middleweight champion has stopped his last 22 opponents and is a big betting favourite to beat Brook, who is stepping up two weight divisions.Golovkin operates with the clinical precision of a surgeon in the ring but away from the sport, appears to be polite, cheerful and almost innocent.Martin Murray, who lasted 11 rounds -- longer than any other opponent -- with Golovkin, socialised with the champion following their fight in February, 2015.He doesnt speak much English but hes a good guy and a nice person, Murray said.He goes out and wreaks havoc in the ring and comes out and hes nice as pie. Thats why Im really happy for all the credit he gets because he deserves it.Max Hermann, along with his brother Oleg, has been working as Golovkins manager and advisor since 2009 and says the boxer has been unaffected by fame.Hes a very calm person and a normal guy outside the ring, down to earth and very polite, Hermann said.He hasnt been affected by his success at all. Away from boxing, hes a big football fan and likes playing football and tries to spend time with family when he is not training for a fight. He has seen Manchester United play and likes AC Milan and Real Madrid as well.Golovkin will be the biggest overseas boxing star to fight in the UK since Kostya Tszyu fought Ricky Hatton in 2005 or Mike Tysons appearances in 2000.A crowd of 80,000 saw British super-middleweights Carl Froch and George Groves slug it out at Wembley Stadium in 2014, but Golovkin-Brook has more international interest and significance.Broadcasters from the U.S., Latin America, Germany and the UK will be ringside on Saturday when a victory for Brook would send shock waves around the world of adoring Golovkin fans.
