The team announced that they were <a href="https://x.com/Schultz_Report/status/1960068159756492951" rel="noopener">parting ways</a> with Hendon Hooker, as he was competing for the backup quarterback job behind Jared Goff. With the move, it looks like Kyle Allen has won the backup job, as he played well over the course of the preseason.</p><p>Hooker finished the preseason completing 22 of his 40 passes for 187 yards and three interceptions. He also didn’t throw a touchdown and had two fumbles. On the other hand, Allen had five touchdowns and two interceptions, throwing for 401 yards.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/detroit-lions/lions-rumors-hendon-hookers-roster-spot-trouble">Hooker had a chance to change some minds</a> in the preseason finale, but he finished the game with 70 passing yards and an interception. After the game, head coach Dan Campbell spoke about Hooker’s performance.</p><p>“Look, I wish Hooker, and I know he does – would’ve had a better outing, but you have to take it with a grain of salt,” Campbell said. “It’s not like he was playing with our first O-Line out there, or first team skill position – all of that. So you take that all into account as well. I thought he was prepared. I thought he was ready – looked pretty calm, just circumstances didn’t work out today, that’s all.”</p><p>Hooker will now go on waivers with the hopes that a team picks him up. He has the qualities of a player who is willing to continue to develop, and someone may take a chance on him.</p><p>As for the Lions, it looks like they will be carrying only two quarterbacks on the team, and they seem to be comfortable with the thought of Allen coming in if something happens to Goff.</p><p>The Lions should once again have a high-powered offense with the options they have on the field.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

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 26-year-old defensive end racked up 68.5 sacks in his young career, maxing out at 16 last year on his way to a clean sweep in every possible NFL defensive first team selection.</p><p>The Texans sport an offensive line that has allowed Allen and former Stanford quarterback Davis Mills to be sacked 33 times, tied for sixth-most in the league with the New York Giants. Allen was sacked five times and took seven quarterback hits in a Week 12 game against the Miami Dolphins.</p><p>“I think the pressure was fine,” Kyle Allen said in a postgame press conference. “I thought there were times I could have stepped up in that area and gotten to my check-downs and outlets earlier. I don’t think the pressure was that big of an issue.”</p><p>Kyle Allen’s <a href="https://www.houstontexans.com/video/qb-kyle-allen-press-conference-11-27-2022" rel="noopener">confidence never faltered</a> despite being down 30-0 at the half, saying he knew he was capable of more than the performance he put on in his first start of the season.</p><p>“I’m confident,” Allen said. “I know I’m a much better player than what I showed today.</p><p>“Every team is still building, especially us. We’re just trying to get a win every week. We just have to keep pushing.”</p><p>The Texans will kick off against the Browns at noon CST this Sunday in NRG Stadium. The game will be broadcasted on CBS.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

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>
