1. Hoyer’s return- For the first time since December 13, Brian Hoyer will be under center for the Texans. He was bounced from the New England game that night when he suffered a concussion. He’s cleared to play now, and head coach Bill O’Brien has a list of things he’d like to see from his signal-caller.
“Take care of the football, make good decisions in the passing game, get us into the right play, and basically be efficient,” O’Brien said. “Operate the offense pre-snap at a very high level, get us in and out of the huddle with good communication, good communication at the line of scrimmage.
