Apparently, though, that involves using both of their backup quarterbacks in Case Keenum and Davis Mills in the wake of C.J. Stroud’s second straight missed game, as <a href="https://twitter.com/WillKunkelFOX/status/1738990541478453293" rel="noopener">both guys</a> have taken the field early on for the Texans.</p><p>Via Will Kunkel:</p><p>“The Texans will be using Case Keenum and Davis Mills today.

Finishing the game with 229 passing yards including a touchdown, the backup quarterback steered the Texans over the Tennessee Titans, 19-16.</p><p>After the game, Keenum naturally <a href="https://twitter.com/AaronWilson_NFL/status/1736503210515272170" rel="noopener">drew praise from</a> head coach DeMeco Ryans.</p><p>“Case stepped up for us. It wasn’t too big for him,” Ryans said as per KPRC 2 Houston’s Aaron Wilson.</p><p>Going undrafted despite making noise in the collegiate ranks, Keenum is already in his 12th season and is proving what experience brings to the table. Not seeing action the entire season, the 35-year-old was initially shaking off the rust to start the game.

This opened up the opportunity for Keenum to find Noah Brown for the game-tying touchdown.</p><p>During overtime, a potential touchdown by Devin Singletary was waved off due to a holding call. In the end, it was Fairbairn who sealed the game, connecting on a 54-yard field goal — his fourth of the night.</p><p>Aside from Stroud, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/texans-news-case-keenum-crucial-injury-updates-pair-weapons-titans" rel="noopener">Texans entered the game</a> with injuries to four other players. Regardless, everyone else came to play.

When running, however, Allen would often find himself taking big hits in order to try to tack on an extra yard or two, rather than surrendering himself with the standard quarterback slide. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bills-news-josh-allen-buffalo-completely-bamboozled-by-hilarious-case-keenum-fake-fan-prank" rel="noopener">Bills backup QB Case Keenum</a> decided he’d cringed one time too many after watching Allen take a hard hit, and offered a hilariously bonkers resolution in order to encourage Allen to slide more often.</p><p>Via Kalyn Kahler of The Athletic, Keenum promised Allen he’d<a href="https://theathletic.com/4015953/2022/12/27/bills-quarterback-room-josh-allen-case-keenum-matt-barkley/" rel="noopener"> attend a walkthrough</a> practice wearing solely a jockstrap if it meant the Bills star would slide more often on his QB runs.</p><p>“I may or may not have told him I would wear only a jockstrap to one of our walkthroughs if he slid in a game feet first with nobody around him,” Keenum told Kahler.</p><p>Allen added that he could “neither confirm nor deny those allegations,” but wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie had no issue shining some more light on the situation.</p><p>“We was all staring at his cheeks,” McKenzie said of Keenum, who had returned from the locker room donning just a jockstrap.</p><p>All of this stemmed from an early-season bet among the Bills’ quarterbacks, as an effort to ensure Allen stayed safer while scrambling. Josh Allen can occasionally play a rather reckless style of quarterback, so his teammates wanted to ensure he didn’t take things too far. Encouraging him to slide is an excellent way of keeping the franchise cornerstone healthy, even if it means Case Keenum needs to strip to uncomfortable levels for Allen to get on board.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Keenum wore a bucket hat, sunglasses and a Bills shirt. It wasn’t quite Clark Kent wearing just glasses, but it was close.
