The Houston Texans went back to Davis Mills in Week 14. They needed their second-year quarterback to lead the offense on the road against the Dallas Cowboys.
Mills split time with backup Jeff Driskel, who was elevated from the practice squad the day before the game. Nevertheless the former Stanford product went 16-of-21 for 175 yards and an interception — a desperation heave on the game’s final play — in Houston’s 27-23 loss to Dallas at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.
