Deshaun Watson has started the second half at quarterback for the Houston Texans after a terrible first half by Tom Savage.
The Texans traded up to draft Watson in the first round, but insisting all offseason that Savage would start.
Savage struggled against the Jaguars, throwing for just 62 yards and losing a fumble that Jacksonville returned for a touchdown to build a 19-0 halftime lead.
Coach Bill O’Brien benched him to start the third quarter. When Watson ran onto the field, it drew a huge cheer from the fans, who had booed Savage for most of the first half.
