Jeff Driskel delivered a quick play-action fake, rolled out to his right and lobbed a perfect spiral to leaping wide receiver Amari Rodgers for a touchdown pass. texans cowboys housports kprc2 click2houston
The Texans’ backup quarterback, elevated from the practice squad for the third time, threw his first touchdown pass since Sept. 27, 2020 when he was playing for the Denver Broncos.
“That was something that we worked on all week, a nice little package for me in there,” said Driskel, who was converted to tight end last season because of his athleticism before breaking his collarbone and going on injured reserve. “I was excited to get out there and help the team win and, obviously, it was not what we wanted to do at the end of the game. We’ve just got to execute a few more times and punch the ball in the end zone, but it was good to get back in the game.
Driskel completed 4 of 6 throws for 38 yards and the 28-yard touchdown. He also rushed for 36 yards on seven carries. The teamwork between Mills and Driskel was evident. With Driskel, the Texans had a more mobile quarterback. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.46 seconds for NFL scouts coming out of college.“I think Houston, I thought they played well, they’re a challenge to play with two quarterbacks,” McCarthy said. “There’s some herky-jerkiness to that. They hit their big plays. We transitioned very well. We’re familiar with Jeff Driskel, we actually brought him in for a free agent visit a few years back.
Wide receiver Chris Moore caught a career-high 10 passes for 124 yards on 11 targets, including a one-handed sideline grab. Mills finished with a 80.5 passer rating, but it was clearly an improvement from the shaky performances against the Washington Commanders and Tennessee Titans that got him benched.
