Battle Red Blog on Davis Mills

Mills played extended role after Mertz injury; opening drive efficient, later performance declined.

Mills was expected to play one opening drive but ended up playing the entire game after Graham Mertz's ACL injury left Houston without a backup QB. His opening drive was efficient: 4 of 6 for 54 yards and 1 TD (5-yard pass to Jared Wayne). However, the sudden shift to extended playing time impacted his performance in the remainder of the game: 5 of 9 for 28 yards, 0 TDs, 0 INTs. The source notes the priority shifted to preventing injury rather than moving the ball effectively.
