Gunslinger Gets A Second Start

Texans last week went about the mindset of checking the tape and improving going forward. Today coach Kubiak named the Gunslinger Case Keenum the starter for Sunday Night Football against the AFC South leading Indianapolis Colts. The saying all along was when Matt Schaub is healthy he will get his starting job back, and spoiler alert Schaub is healthy and will back up Keenum.

Coaches must have seen something from Case Keenum that no other QB has given them this year. Keenum in one game was able to do something we haven’t seen in a long time, give the team a down field passing attack. If not for a pass that went straight through the fingertips of Garrett Graham you could have seen a team go in and beat the best team in the NFL (Chiefs).

Case Keenum will now have plenty of time to get ready for the Colts, not having to split time with TJ Yates like going in to the Chiefs game. He will now take all the snaps as QB 1 as the starter going in to the game with Colts. Teammates on offensive and defensive have made it clear that Keenum brings that certain something to the QB position a certain X-factor that the team needs in these remaining games. Coach Kubiak made it clear that Keenum is only the starter for the Colts and like always will continue to evaluate going forward
