Deshaun Watson enters at QB for Texans after Tom Savage's mediocre first half vs. Jaguars

— -- HOUSTON -- After one half of the Houston Texans' season-opening 29-7 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, coach Bill O'Brien benched Tom Savage for Deshaun Watson.

Savage and the Texans' offense were shut out in the first half. Savage was unable to drive the offense down the field, going 7-of-13 for 62 yards. The offensive line struggled and allowed six first-half sacks.

Watson fired off his first career touchdown pass, a 4-yarder, on his first drive to DeAndre Hopkins. It was the team's only score of the game.?

Jaguars DE Calais Campbell, playing in his first game with the team after signing in free agency, had 3.5 of those first-half sacks, setting the franchise record for sacks in a single game. He finished with four sacks.?

The Texans named Savage the starter early in the offseason, and O'Brien stuck by that, even after the team traded up in the first round to draft Watson. Savage outplayed Watson during training camp and the preseason, and O'Brien reiterated that Savage was his starting quarterback.

Texans linebacker Brian Cushing, tight ends? Ryan Griffin?and? C.J. Fiedorowicz?and wide receiver? Bruce Ellington?all left the game with concussions.
