Brissett's touchdown cost one Las Vegas sportsbook a decent sum.
The QB was offered at 30-1 to score the game's first touchdown at MGM's 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.
"Let's 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 England's 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 Hill's 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.
