Houston Texans will ride with “Fitz-Magic”
Ryan Fitzpatrick came to Houston wanting one more shot.
Bill O’Brien needed an intelligent, veteran quarterback to guide a new, complex offense.
The 10-year QB and first-year coach were officially bonded Tuesday, when O’Brien named Fitzpatrick the Texans’ starting quarterback.
O’Brien informed the Texans during an 8 a.m. meeting Fitzpatrick beat out Case Keenum, T.J. Yates and rookie Tom Savage for the job.
**Update**
The team has released T.J. Yates
