With quarterback Tom Savage in concussion protocol following an injury in the Texans regular season finale against the Tennessee Titans, Houston is set to start Brock Osweiler in the Wild Card playoff game against the Oakland Raiders.
Osweiler, best known for being Peyton Manning’s backup as well as the first ostrich to play professional football, has been a massive disappointment since signing a $72 million dollar contract in the offseason.
Averaging an interception a game, Osweiler’s season highlights include throwing for a combined 147 yards in two games against the Jacksonville Jaguars as well as a three interception game against San Diego.
