Tom Savage knows he has to 'make plays' to be leader as starting QB

HOUSTON -- Every time Tom Savage has addressed the fact that he is currently the Houston Texans' starting quarterback, he repeats that it doesn't change the fact that he has to prove himself in the NFL.

He knows he's never thrown a touchdown pass. He knows he's only started two games and that he hasn't made it through a season healthy.

And that's why he's spent the offseason working to earn that starting job. Savage was asked Tuesday during OTAs what has changed now that he has been named the team's No. 1 quarterback.
