Davis Mills completed 16-of-30 passes for 153 yards and two touchdowns in the Texans’ 23-19, Week 12 win over the Bills.

After downing the Jaguars and Titans in his first two starts, Mills got a much tougher matchup on Thursday night against the Bills, but did just enough to will his team to a third-straight win. In what was easily his worst start of the season, Mills and the Texans converted only 2-of-12 third down tries, but a 24-yard pass to Nico Collins in the second quarter helped set the Texans up for their first touchdown on the night, which came on a two-yard reception by Christian Kirk, and Mills would later complete passes of 19 and 33 yards on a drive that ended with an eight-yard score by Jayden Higgins. Mills was solid in his three starts, throwing for 719-5-1 while keeping the Texans in the thick of the playoff race. He’ll likely head back to the bench for Week 13’s game against the Colts, with C.J. Stroud (concussion) expected to return, but Mills proved to be more than serviceable after making multiple starts for the first time since the 2022 season.
