The Houston Texans have benched quarterback Kyle Allen after two starts in favor of former starter Davis Mills, sources confirmed to ESPN.
Mills struggled in his first 10 starts as his completion percentage was 61.9% and his passer rating was 78.1, ranking in the bottom 10 in the NFL in both categories. Mills' record as a starter was 1-8-1 and he threw 11 interceptions, which is third most in the NFL. Coach Lovie Smith switched to Allen to generate a spark for their 31st-ranked scoring offense (15 points per game) ahead of their Week 12 matchup with the Miami Dolphins.
