The Texans’ clash against the Saints this weekend may have ended up being disappointing, but that doesn’t mean we can’t do some analysis on just who was getting the playing time in advance of this weekend’s roster cuts.

THINGS OF NOTE:
- We got to see the first NFL snaps of seventh round pick Kyle Fuller, who finally logged his first professional snap against the Saints.
- This was the game this season that Tom Savage had a Quarterback Rating under 90.
- Considering he charted the most snaps of any Texans RB this weekend, it’s probably not surprising that Tyler Ervin set career-high marks for rushing attempts and targets.
- UDFA NT Rickey Hatley is making a very strong case for backing up D.J. Reader. Hatley had another sack against the Saints to add to the one he had against the Patriots.
- Trivia Question: The Texans’ loss to the Saints was the third time in the team’s history that they had been shut out during the preseason. Can you tell me the other two teams were responsible for shutting out the Texans in the preseason?
That’s it for this week’s snap numbers. What did you folks make of Kyle Fuller’s first NFL snaps? Can you answer our trivia question without looking the answer up? Let us know in the comments below.
