There’s an NFL playoff game Saturday that will pit Connor Cook against Brock Osweiler.
The Oakland Raiders against the Houston Texans.
Osweiler, from the Texans, showed himself to be one of the worst quarterbacks in the league before being replaced late in the season by Tom Savage. When you’re replaced by Tom Savage, it goes without saying, really, that you’re not exactly lighting things up.
But Savage is hurt and the 6-foot-8 Osweiler, whose quarterback rating of 72.2 ranks next-to-last in the NFL, is the Texans’ next-best choice.
The severity of Houston’s QB problem cannot be overstated, but at least the Texans have a sturdy defense.
