Backup Davis Mills threw two touchdown passes in the final quarter and scrambled 14 yards for the go-ahead score with 31 seconds left and the Houston Texans rallied from a 19-point fourth-quarter deficit for a 36-29 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars

C.J. Strouds status for the Houston Texans Week 11 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars may have already been settled.

Leading up that season finale in 2022, Davis Mills had been the primary starting quarterback for the Texans in 2021 and 2022, his first two seasons in the NFL. While Mills himself is hardly the only one to blame, he did sport a 5-19-1 record as a starter over those two seasons. Not good. Not good at all.

The aftermath: The pass helped get the Texans moving. Six plays later, they were in Jaguars territory and Mills scored the go-ahead touchdown on the drive's 14th play to give Houston its first lead of the game with 31 seconds left. Schultz also atoned for a third-down drop earlier in the second half that led to turnover on downs.

The Houston Texans should be prepping to see Davis Mills take the field once again for Sunday's road trip to Nashville.
