HOUSTON (AP) — Houston Texans coach Lovie Smith wanted Davis Mills to come out of the halftime locker room and play one more series, with the hope that the second-year quarterback would have some success and end his preseason on a high note.
Mills did just that, throwing a touchdown pass to Chris Moore to help the Texans beat the San Francisco 49ers 17-0 on Thursday night.
“We just wanted to come out and put together a good drive and put up some points,” Mills said. “And that’s what we did.”
Mills was 6 for 10 for 58 yards with an interception.
