Davis Mills rallies Texans from 19-point deficit
Digest more
Down by 19 entering the fourth quarter Sunday against Jacksonville, the Houston Texans looked to be headed for another tough loss.
Mills was even-keeled almost to a fault throughout Sunday’s game, according to Schultz. The tight end said the team had to tell him to speak up several times in the huddle because they couldn’t hear him relay the play call. But the calm, confident nature of Mills in the face of adversity instilled the same spirit in his teammates to battle back.

The Houston Texans pulled off one of the wildest comebacks of the season over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, and in the process, the two teams combined to make some history. The game ended with the Texans topping the Jags 36-29, a score that had never been seen before in the 106-year history of the NFL.
