Brock Osweiler has been so bad this season that DeAndre Hopkins hasn’t been able to bail him out with crazy catches. (Seriously. Even Brian Hoyer was able to get him the ball.) But D-Hop might be able to bust loose now, because Bill O’Brien finally pulled the plug on Osweiler today after two terrible interceptions.
It was such a popular move on Bill’s part that Texans fans gave backup quarterback Tom Savage a standing ovation as he jogged onto the field:

Your reminder that the Texans backed up the Brinks truck for Brock this past offseason:
Tom Savage replaces Brock Osweiler.
