HOUSTON – Deshaun Watson started at quarterback for the Houston Texans against the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday Night Football on KPRC2.
Earlier this week, Texans head coach Bill O'Brien did not say whether Tom Savage or Watson would start.
Savage was benched in favor of Watson at halftime of Sunday's season-opening 29-7 loss to the Jaguars.
Watson was responsible for the only points Houston scored when he connected with DeAndre Hopkins for a touchdown in the third quarter.
