Houston Texans quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick suffered a reported season-ending broken leg in Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Fitzpatrick was carted off the field after being tackled on a scramble.
Fifth-round pick Tom Savage, whose only prior regular-season action consisted of a pain of kneel-downs at the end of the Week 13 win over the Tennessee Titans, took over. He had yet to attempt a regular-season pass up until Week 15.
Savage fumbled on his first play, which was recovered by the Colts. He finished 10 of 19 for 127 yards with one interception.
In preseason action, Savage was 19-of-26 passing for 131 yards, with a touchdown and an interception.
