Texans' Brock Osweiler: Struggles in loss to Vikings

Osweiler completed just 19 of 42 passes for 184 yards with a touchdown and an interception in Sunday's 31-13 loss to the Vikings.

Analysis:

Osweiler was atrocious in the first half, completing just seven of 20 passes for 54 yards. He managed to improve his numbers slightly with the Vikings playing a more conservative defense to nurse a big lead in the second half, but was still stifled by a unit that has already had similar success against much more decorated signal callers this season. On the bright side, Osweiler's lone touchdown went to previously-slumping top receiver DeAndre Hopkins. Reestablishing a rapport with Hopkins will be key to the former Broncos quarterback's success down the road.
