NFL insider comes clean on why he consistently links available QBs to Houston Texans
CONNECTING THE DOTS
06 September 2022
ProFootballTalk's Mike Florio catches up with ESPN Houston's The Wheelhouse and shares his thoughts about the upcoming NFL season, the Houston Texans, and much more!
Plus, Florio finally answers the million-dollar question for Texans fans. No matter how much the Texans publicly and privately say they want to give Davis Mills a chance to prove himself this year, Florio links every possible QB fit with the Texans. First it was Jimmy Garoppolo and lately it's been former Vikings QB Kellen Mond.
His reason being, teams that don't have a franchise QB are always doing everything they can to get one in the building, and the Texans are no different. Plus, the Texans would act the exact same way publicly, even it they didn't believe in Mills privately.
Be sure to check out the video above as Florio elaborates on his stance, and shares his expectations for Mills and the Texans in 2022.

José Ramírez homered for a third straight game, Angel Martínez also went deep and the Cleveland Guardians got a 4-2 win over the Houston Astros on Wednesday night to complete a three-game sweep.
It’s the first time the Guardians, who entered the series on a 10-game skid, have won three in a row since a four-game winning streak from May 21-24.
Slade Cecconi (4-4) allowed five hits and two runs with a career-best nine strikeouts in 7-plus innings for the win. Paul Sewald pitched a scoreless ninth for his second save.
Martínez homered for a second straight at-bat with his shot to the Crawford Boxes with one out in the first inning. His grand slam with two outs in the 10th inning Tuesday night lifted Cleveland to a 10-6 win.
Four pitches after Martinez’s homer Wednesday, Ramírez also connected off Brandon Walter (1-2) to make it 2-0. Walter settled in after that, retiring the next 17 batters, with seven strikeouts before Bennett Sousa took over to start the seventh.
Ramírez and Carlos Santana hit consecutive singles with no outs in the inning before David Fry walked to load the bases. Johnathan Rodríguez then singled to score two and extend the lead to 4-0.
The Astros had managed just four singles when Taylor Trammell walked with no outs in the eighth and scored on a double by Mauricio Dubón that cut the lead to 4-1. There were two outs in the inning when Jose Altuve’s RBI double made it 4-2.
The AL West-leading Astros went 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position to cap this disappointing series which came after they swept the Dodgers in Los Angeles over the weekend.
Key moment
Martínez and Ramírez had back-to-back homers in the first.
Key stat
Ramírez, who dropped out of next week’s All-Star game Wednesday to rehab a nagging Achilles injury, has four homers and seven RBIs this month.
Up next
LHP Logan Allen (5-7, 4.07 ERA) will start for Cleveland in the opener of a four-game series against the Chicago White Sox Thursday night. The Astros are off Thursday and haven’t announced their rotation for their weekend series against the Rangers.
