The Houston Texans are back below .500 and searching for answers to fix their stagnant offense as they begin their bye week.

There also might be a quarterback controversy brewing.

Ryan Fitzpatrick for 203 yards with two touchdowns and an interception for Houston, but struggled to move the offense for most of the day in a 31-21 loss to Philadelphia.

Coach Bill O'Brien cautioned against placing too much blame on the journeyman quarterback when asked if he would consider a change at the position to spark the offense.
