Texans coach Bill O'Brien has named Tom Savage the starting quarterback against the Cincinnati Bengals.
O'Brien said that he feels that Savage gives the Texans their best chance to win the game.
"I've let the team know this afternoon that Tom Savage will be the starting quarterback against the Cincinnati Bengals," O'Brien said Monday. "I think it's important for Tom to have the week as the starter to experience the whole thing and understand what the game plan is. It's a short week. He knows he has to put in a lot of extra prep time into this thing and I know he will.
