Texans claim Brock Osweiler's starting job is safe

Houston Texans quarterback Brock Osweiler is not in danger of being benched, says head coach Bill O'Brien.

What It Means:

Osweiler was worse than normal Monday night in a brutal matchup against an elite Denver Broncos defense playing with a chip on their shoulder. He has thrown eight interceptions and fumbled five times through seven games with the Texans. Tom Savage is the backup in Houston.

Osweiler posted a brutal -18.53 Passing Net Expected Points (NEP) in Monday's loss, per numberFire Live. Among starting quarterbacks with at least 100 dropbacks this season, Osweiler ranks dead last in Passing NEP per play.
