HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Texans led by a touchdown early Sunday before being outscored 23-0 the rest of the way as their offense sputtered in a loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
Rookie Davis Mills threw for 163 yards with a touchdown and an interception as Houston’s two-game winning streak was snapped.
Houston (4-12) was clinging to a 7-3 lead in the third quarter when Marcell Harris intercepted Mills. It looked as if he lost the ball on a fumble on the play, but officials ruled his forward progress was stopped before he coughed it up.
