I didn't like the call for the end zone pass (that was INT'ed) with 1½ minutes left in the game....

Really strong game by Savage, except for that pass into double coverage to Hopkins in the EZ at the end of the game.
And that was Clowneys worst game of the year, damn big fella get your head out of your ass.

Early line on Texans vs. 49ers is Texans by 1 to 2...

Definitely Savage's best game and real improvement shown. If he wanted a job as a backup at close to league minimum next year I'd bring him back. I definitely wouldn't say really strong game though. We scored 13 points against a team that is 25th in DVOA and bottom half in scoring defense. Moving the ball for passing yards is better than not moving the ball, but turning it into points is what QBs get paid for.
