Davis Mills completed 27-of-45 passes for 292 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception in the Texans’ 36-29, Week 10 win over the Jaguars.

He added three carries for 30 yards and another touchdown — a scramble on third-and-goal with less than a minute left that gave the Texans their first lead of the game. The Texans were dead to rights in this game, down 29-10 with a minute left in the third quarter, then reeled off 20 straight points to take the lead and won the game on a walkoff pick-six by Sheldon Rankins. We’d like to tell you that this was a marked change of play — and Mills did make some nice throws — but largely the Jaguars got kicked around up front by the Texans and Mills was able to take sideline curls and middle-of-the-field throws with aplomb. We imagine he’ll remain on the low end of the QB2 superflex discussion in Week 11 against the Titans — assuming C.J. Stroud doesn’t clear concussion protocol by then — but this was much more ceiling than we imagined Mills to have today.
