Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills wasn’t dealt a favorable hand.
The third-round rookie had to replace starting quarterback Tyrod Taylor at halftime of a 14-14 game at the Cleveland Browns. Houston ultimately lost the game and the Texans followed up the 1-1 start with a six-game losing streak — all with Mills at the helm.
Taylor couldn’t ignite the Texans offense the way he he did in Week 1 against the Jacksonville Jaguars and appeared to regress. Although the Texans went back with Mills with five games to go due to Taylor having a hyperextended left wrist (non-throwing), it was nevertheless a signal the organization wanted to see what the former Stanford product had to offer.
