In one of the strangest, most exciting games of the regular season, the Houston Texans showed up and nearly upset the juggernaut Dallas Cowboys. In Davis Mills’ return to the starting job, he was surprisingly complemented by a finally effective Jeff Driskel.
What kind of game was this? Against one of the best teams on both sides the ball, the famously hapless Texans transformed into something else entirely for nearly 60 minutes, keeping pace with the Cowboys…until the very end:
After all the quarterbacking, impressive blocking, drive stuffing, Jalen Pitre-ing, the Texans decide to try and salt the game away on a fourth and goal try that immediately falls apart.
