Davis Mills Delivers Solid Performance in Second Start for Houston Texans

AutoDraft Pro AI

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills completed 26 of 41 passes for 274 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions, adding 14 rushing yards on two attempts in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Titans. This solid showing comes in his second start. The 25-year-old, a 2021 third-round pick, previously started 26 games in 2021-22 and made six appearances as the No. 2 QB last season, though Case Keenum started when C.J. Stroud was out. Mills will likely need to win the backup job over the 36-year-old Keenum. While he lacks elite arm strength, he has fared well throwing deep in the past. Despite prior struggles with inconsistency and red-zone futility, the Texans' improved roster offers a better situation if he finds the field.
