Texans quarterback Davis Mills delivered a fast play-action fake before firing the football toward open veteran wide receiver Brandin Cooks in the end zone. Texans Houston NFL AaronWilson_NFL
The errant throw was a bit too low and the timing was off as he didn’t deliver the most catchable pass. Normally sure-handed and reliable, Cooks was unable to haul in the pass and the red-zone opportunity was squandered with another incompletion and mistimed connection on the following play.
The Texans have been outscored 27-0 in the fourth quarter against the Broncos and Indianapolis Colts, blowing leads, and should be 2-0 if the offense and Mills had performed better. The defense has been playing winning football, including containing Wilson on Sunday. “He made a good play,” Kirksey said. “I thought I had good coverage. I think he caught it one-handed. It was a great pass from Russell and a great catch by him. You try your best to have tight coverage, but it was an outstanding catch by him.”
“It’s not ever going to be perfect, but being able to be dialed in and be on the same page, even in those instances where you know, we don’t necessarily practice little details, is that that’s what it’s all about in the passing game,” Cooks said. “No doubt.” “We need more from Davis but it starts up front first,” Smith said. “Davis having more time, the run game being a little more productive, opening up some of the passing lanes. It’s all of the above. I understand when we’ve won the game, we’re going to give the quarterback a pat on the back but there’s so much more than just Davis Mills. Yes. Davis needs to get better like we all need to.”
There was a key breakdown in pass coverage on 3rd-and-16 when Wilson lobbed a 35-yard pass behind rookie cornerback Derek Stingley Jr down to the Texans’ 33-yard line. Three plays later, Saubert beat Kirksey for the touchdown. The football game was effectively over.
