O'Brien won't name Texans' Week 2 QB yet

Troy Taormina / USA Today Sports

After Sunday's abysmal offensive performance, Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien needs some time to think about who he'll start at quarterback in Week 2.

O'Brien wouldn't say whether he was leaning toward Tom Savage or rookie Deshaun Watson following a 29-7 stomping by the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to Aaron Wilson of The Houston Chronicle.

The Texans replaced Savage with Watson mid-game, but still amassed just 203 total yards Sunday and were sacked a remarkable 10 times.

"We've got to figure it out," O'Brien said of the offense. "Clearly, it was a bad day."

Though Watson briefly injected some energy into the Texans' attack, Houston's quarterback duo combined for just 19 completions and 164 passing yards.

O'Brien had better figure it out quick, as Houston travels to Cincinnati to face the Bengals on Thursday night.
