After Lovie Smith <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/texans-hc-lovie-smith-makes-kyle-allen-davis-mills-decision-for-week-13-after-ugly-loss-to-dolphins" rel="noopener">started Kyle Allen for the last two games</a>, he’s now going back to Davis Mills for Sunday.</p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/AaronWilson_NFL/status/1600529283109249024" rel="noopener">Via Aaron Wilson:</a></p><p>Lovie Smith: “Our quarterback this week will be Davis Mills.”</p><p>Neither quarterback has flourished in 2022. Before Mills was benched, he completed just 61.9% of his passes in 10 games, went just 1-8-1, and threw for 11 interceptions. Allen came in with the hope of adding a spark to one of the worst offenses in the entire NFL, but he struggled as well. The Texans averaged just 14 points per contest in his two outings.</p><p>Unfortunately, it doesn’t get any easier for Mills this weekend as they face the 9-3 Dallas Cowboys, one of the best teams in the NFL.</p><p>“We expect two weeks of watching from the sideline to help,” Smith said of Mill, <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/35203913/sources-houston-texans-benching-kyle-allen-back-davis-mills" rel="noopener">via ESPN.</a></p><p>It’s clear both guys aren’t capable of producing right now, but Smith is evidently going back to the drawing board after a failed experiment with Allen. The Texans are currently 1-10-1 and have lost seven in a row. Needless to say, they need a victory badly.</p><p>But, their losing ways look to be continuing. After visiting the Cowboys, Houston faces the Kansas City Chiefs and Tennessee Titans, two teams at the top of their divisions. Davis Mills will have a difficult time mustering up any offense in the next three weeks, but it’s not like Allen was getting it done, either.</p><p>Not a good time to be a Texans fan.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Texans QB <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/texans-news-kyle-allens-hilarious-message-to-ex-teammate-myles-garrett-ahead-of-week-13-vs-browns" rel="noopener">asked the Browns star to “be nice to me,”</a> highlighting Garrett’s penchant for sacking quarterbacks.

Nonetheless, he still plans to sack him.</p><p>“I’ll lay him down a little gentler than others… but he’s going in the graveyard too,” Garrett said, per Kimberly A. Martin of ESPN. The graveyard comment is in reference to his <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-news-myles-garrett-savagely-decorates-yard-with-qb-gravestones-for-halloween" rel="noopener">Halloween tradition of putting tombstones</a> with the names of the QBs he sacked on his backyard.</p><p>Hey, at least it won’t hurt that much for Allen.</p><p>The Browns can no longer afford to lose if they want to keep their postseason dreams alive, so Myles Garrett is already giving Kyle Allen quite the favor by telling him he’ll hold back for a little bit. With that said, it’ll definitely be interesting to see how the Cleveland All-Pro will handle the Houston signal-caller.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Myles Garrett on Kyle Allen’s request to go easy on him Sunday: “I’ll lay him down a little gentler than others… but he’s going in the graveyard too.” <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/browns?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#browns</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/texans?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#texans</a> <a href="https://t.co/mYjxXT71Hy">pic.twitter.com/mYjxXT71Hy</a></p><p>— Kimberley A.

We want to see him. We got to eliminate those turnovers, but I thought he did some good things throughout the game.”</p><p>After days of speculation, Smith <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2g-5SQtdJA" rel="noopener">noted</a> on Friday that Allen would make his first start donning a Texans jersey in the Week 12 road game against the Miami Dolphins. Smith made clear that he is evaluating the quarterback position on a “day-to-day” basis and in the big picture, he is “always looking for the best option that gives you the best chance to win.”</p><p>In his 18th career start in the NFL, Allen guided the Texans offense to three scoring drives against the Dolphins — all of which came in the second half. In the end, he finished the day with 215 passing yards and one touchdown pass, but he also threw a pair of interceptions in the contest.</p><p>From Smith’s standpoint, turnovers were once again the issue for Houston on the offensive side of the ball.</p><p>“You can’t win football games when you turn it over,” Smith said. “We as an offense can’t allow that to happen, and our quarterback starts it all. So Kyle didn’t start, and our offense didn’t start the way we need to. But in the second half, we had our moments where we looked like we could get some yardage and have a chance.”</p><p>During his post-game press conference, Allen took some responsibility for Houston’s sluggish outing on offense in the contest.</p><p>“Just not good enough from me,” Allen said. “Just didn’t put our team in any type of position to win today.”</p><p>The Texans now hold a 1-9-1 record on the season. Two of their next three games will be at home, including a clash with the Kansas City Chiefs in the coming month.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, a new starting quarterback will be under center as the team prepares for a Week 12 showdown against the Miami Dolphins. Head coach Lovie Smith officially announced that Kyle Allen would replace Davis Mills <a href="https://twitter.com/AaronWilson_NFL/status/1596206105482342400?s=20&amp;t=PjrPxb96ROsWyY8Emz9UZQ" rel="noopener">as the Texans quarterback</a> on Friday, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 Houston.</p><p>When asked about his decision to replace Mills, Smith <a href="https://twitter.com/AaronWilson_NFL/status/1596207452046884868?s=20&amp;t=PjrPxb96ROsWyY8Emz9UZQ" rel="noopener">shared that</a> “it’s not just one soundbite. It’s a body of work. We could need Davis sooner than later,” <a href="https://twitter.com/AaronWilson_NFL/status/1596208024150020097?s=20&amp;t=PjrPxb96ROsWyY8Emz9UZQ" rel="noopener">adding further he wishes</a> the team “didn’t have to make this change. I feel good about the opportunity we’ve given everyone. Whenever you’re making a change, it’s things aren’t going well. When you’re not playing well as a football team, decisions like these come.”</p><p>The Texans selected Mills in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft. In 23 career games, the former Stanford product has thrown for 4,808 passing yards, 27 touchdowns, and 21 interceptions, according to <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/MillDa02.htm" rel="noopener">Pro Football Reference</a>. Last year, his performance down the stretch earned Mills the opportunity to lead the Texans. However, the 2022 NFL season has been less-than-stellar, prompting the franchise to change.</p><p>In talking about his faith in Allen, Smith <a href="https://twitter.com/AaronWilson_NFL/status/1596207666635935744?s=20&amp;t=PjrPxb96ROsWyY8Emz9UZQ" rel="noopener">revealed that</a> “we’ve seen him, and we feel pretty confident he can throw the ball. He’s mobile enough, and he deserves the opportunity.”</p><p>Before signing with the Texans, Allen’s best season came in 2019 with the Panthers, in which he went 5-7 with 3,322 passing yards, 17 touchdowns, and 16 interceptions. <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/A/AlleKy00.htm" rel="noopener">Across four seasons with</a> the Panthers and Washington Commanders, Allen has made 17 career starts.</p><p>“Personally, it’s awesome,” said Allen <a href="https://twitter.com/AaronWilson_NFL/status/1596208906493374466?s=20&amp;t=PjrPxb96ROsWyY8Emz9UZQ" rel="noopener">about being the</a> Texans’ starting quarterback. Allen also shared that <a href="https://twitter.com/AaronWilson_NFL/status/1596209212337577984?s=20&amp;t=PjrPxb96ROsWyY8Emz9UZQ" rel="noopener">he hopes the team</a> “can be good in third downs, red zone, two-minute. I’m just trying to execute. It’s a team game at the end of the day.”</p><p>It remains to be seen if Lovie Smith made the correct choice in moving from Davis Mills to Kyle Allen or if it is a matter of ‘too little, too late,’ but regardless, Sunday’s game against the Dolphins will be an intriguing matchup if nothing else.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
