Can Houston Texans rookie QB Davis Mills continue to progress?
HOUSTON -- As Houston Texans coach David Culley watched Davis Mills throw a touchdown to wide receiver Chris Moore in Sunday’s 25-22 loss to the New England Patriots, he could tell the rookie quarterback had moved on from his four-interception game the week before.
Mills was out of the pocket and found Moore on the sideline in one-on-one coverage. Even though Moore -- who was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster the day before the game -- was covered, Mills gave the receiver a chance to make a play. The throw had a completion probability of 39.7%, the lowest mark of any Texans passing touchdown this season, according to NFL Next Gen Stats.
