Quarterback Tom Savage will start his second consecutive game Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.
Texans coach Bill O'Brien said Monday that he was impressed with how Savage performed in the second half during a 12-10 win over the Cincinnati Bengals that clinched the AFC South division title.
A former fourth-round draft pick from Pitt, Savage replaced $72 million quarterback experiment Brock Osweiler during a comeback win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Through two games, Savage has completed 41 of 65 passes for 436 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions for an 82.6 passer rating.
Savage played solidly against the Bengals despite breakdowns in pass protection as he was sacked four times and hit 10 times.
