Texans' Tom Savage: Houston's second quarterback

Savage entered Saturday's game against the Saints following starter Brock Osweiler and completed seven of 12 passes for 75 yards with two sacks in preseason Week 2.

Analysis:

Houston's newly minted No. 2 signal-caller had a more difficult time of it Saturday than he did in the opener last week, but Savage did nothing to lose his spot as Osweiler's primary backup. He has more time in the system than Brandon Weeden and, as such, is being groomed to pilot the Texans should anything untoward happen to Osweiler.
