Yes, final week, we called for the Houston Texans to bench Davis Mills after a foul displaying towards the Washington Commanders. They gave a shot to Kyle Allen to supply a spark in the offense for his or her sport towards the Miami Dolphins.
Houston bought off to a horrific begin to the season. In reality, right here’s how every of their offensive drives in the primary half ended:
- Punt
- Punt
- Punt
- Interception
- Punt
- Fumble returned for landing
- Punt
In the primary half, Allen accomplished 10-of-16 go makes an attempt. Not dangerous proper? Well these passes went for a complete of 49 yards. He additionally threw an interception that instantly resulted in the Dolphins scoring a landing one play later to increase their result in 17-0.
Allen bolstered his statistics in the second half, albeit after the Dolphins started resting their starters with the sport basically gained. On 39 go makes an attempt, Allen threw 26 completions for 215 yards and a landing, whereas throwing two interceptions.
It will be fascinating to see what the Texans will do on the quarterback place when they play the Cleveland Browns subsequent week. Whatever they select to do, they’re in the driving force’s seat to get the No. 1 general decide.
Again, whereas we referred to as for Mills to be benched, Allen didn’t essentially do himself any favors to warrant one other begin.
