There is nothing that the Houston Texans can do to salvage their 2022 season. They’re required to play out the rest of their schedule, but it is unclear if they would if given the option. The team has laid on its side since about Week 6 and seemed to throw in the towel completely in their last matchup against the New York Giants.
They made a final desperate move on Friday that will come to define the rest of their season by naming fifth-year quarterback Kyle Allen as their starting quarterback. Whether Allen won the job or incumbent starter Davis Mills lost it is likely up for debate, but the decision has been made and it seems that Lovie Smith and his coaching staff are comfortable with it.
