The Facts: It didn't take long for the Texans to make a switch under center. Mallett took over for starter Brian Hoyer late in the fourth quarter against the Chiefs, bringing a dash of hope to Houston's offense at the end of a disastrous afternoon. Unfortunately for the Texans, the late change wasn't enough to prevent the team from losing, 27-20, on Sunday.

Diehards Line: Hoyer gave coach Bill O'Brien no choice, turning the ball over twice inside Houston's 15-yard line and finishing an ugly 18-of-34 passing for 236 yards with a touchdown and a pick. Mallett showed immediate flair, driving the Texans right down the field to cap a six-play, 59-yard scoring march with his 8-yard touchdown strike to wideout DeAndre Hopkins. Hoyer was one of the first players on the field to congratulate Mallett -- that could be Hoyer's role beginning next Sunday.
