The Facts: According to multiple reports, Novak beat out Kai Forbath, Connor Barth and others to replace Randy Bullock on the Houston roster.

Diehards Line: Bullock missed a field goal and an extra point in last Sunday’s victory over Tampa. It was the second missed extra point of the year for the 2012 fifth-round pick. He’s made 55-of-76 field goals over his entire career. Novak spent the last four years with the Chargers, but lost his job to Josh Lambo this summer. He’s also spent time with the Chiefs, Redskins and Cardinals while making 120-of-147 career field goal tries.
