I suppose O’Brien could keep his decision a secret all the way up until kickoff, but it seems more likely that we learn whether it’ll be Tom Savage or Deshaun Watson before then. Until that time, feel free to keep the rampant speculation going as we attempt to forget what happened at NRG Stadium yesterday.
