HOUSTON (AP) 锟?Brian Hoyer has his job back as Houston's starting quarterback.
The two-time Super Bowl winner has now gone six years without a championship ring. Though he set career highs and franchise records in nearly every major statistical category, he also didn't do what the Steelers pay him handsomely to do: produce a winning effort when the field is cut from 32 to 12.
Blalock, a second-round pick from Texas in 2007, started all 125 games in which he played, including 15 in 2014.
But Sunday's resurgence could change everything.
Some experts say the most important change has been the strict limit on full-contact practices during the regular season, capped at 14. That change was negotiated by the players union in 2011.
