Houston Texans: Analyzing the backup quarterback competition in 2018

The Houston Texans need to fortify their depth at quarterback. In a quarterback-driven league, the strength at that position can determine the fate of a team. The Philadelphia Eagles wouldn’t have been Super Bowl LII champions without the brilliant performance of their backup quarterback Nick Foles.

When Deshaun Watson went down with a torn ACL injury, so did the opportunity of the team competing for a playoff berth.

Tom Savage, T.J. Yates, and a small dose of Taylor Heinicke weren’t enough to change the course of the season.

The Texans only won one more game in the remaining nine games of the regular season.
