The Houston Texans got their preseason off to a good start on the scoreboard with a 24-13 win over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night.

However, more important than wins or losses in the preseason is how each player performed during the game, especially guys the Texans will lean on during the regular season.

Backup quarterback Tom Savage was the star of the night with a pair of touchdown passes in the second half. It was a bit more of an inauspicious outing for starting quarterback Brock Osweiler, but the Texans offense played it close to the vest in the first preseason game.
