HOUSTON, Texas -- The mistake-riddled performance of Houston rookie quarterback Davis Mills last week against the Buffalo Bills led to the most lopsided loss in franchise history.
Things won't get any easier Sunday when Mills leads the Texans (1-3) against coach Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots (1-3). Belichick's New England teams have been rough against rookie signal-callers, posting a 22-6 record in those games.
Before falling to Miami's Tua Tagovailoa in Week 15 last season, the Patriots had won nine consecutive games against rookie quarterbacks. They started a new streak in their second game this season against Zach Wilson and the Jets.
