After losing in embarrassing fashion to the Tennessee Titans in Week 8, there will be no rest for the wicked (read: weary) as the Houston Texans prepare to square off against the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday. Hot off the heels of their 17-10 defeat, Houston is merely looking to prove that they belong on the same field as the Eagles, knowing full well that a win is almost an impossibility.
Despite this grim reality, quarterback Davis Mills told reporters after Sunday’s meltdown that he is looking forward to the challenge of playing Philadelphia. Perhaps implying that he and his squad are relishing the chance to play the spoiler, he explained that the Texans will make some necessary adjustments to stay competitive on Thursday night, and seemed to hint that the team is motivated to find a way to win against all odds.
