Since regaining his starting job three games ago, the Texans’ quarterback has improved his play significantly. He manufactured a game-winning drive against the Tennessee Titans capped by his adeptly-placed touchdown pass to wide receiver Brandin Cooks and preceded by slick throws to Amari Rodgers and Phillip Dorsett to snap a nine-game losing streak for the 2-12-1 Texans.
“I think I’ve progressed,” Mills said. “Being benched made me go back and reflect on what I was doing the first half of the season versus how I can perform now. Step my game up, I think I’ve done that. Against the Titans, Mills completed 17 of 28 passes for 178 yards, one touchdown and one interception. He fumbled on a scramble that was recovered for a touchdown by running back Rex Burkhead.
Although the 2-12-1 Texans are expected to eventually move on from Mills as their starter as they have two top-10 draft picks this spring and perhaps may select a quarterback like Alabama’s Bryce Young, Mills is the man of the moment for the AFC South franchise.“Mentally, it was tough,” Mills said. “I’ve always been an extremely confident person. I knew I would get another opportunity at some point. Knew I needed to make most of the opportunity, and I feel like I’ve done that up to this point.
Mills has embraced sharing the quarterback position with his friend, Driskel. It’s a strategy intended to keep defenses off-balance. Sometimes, it’s had mixed results. The point is to not be predictable. Driskel has played in five games with two starts, completing 9 of 14 passes for 86 yards and one touchdown while rushing for 61 yards on 15 runs with one catch for four yards.
