11 observations from Houston Texans 17-13 win over Saints
Despite Lovie Smith declining to name a starting QB for the Texans upcoming game against the Dolphins, reports are coming out saying the Texans will start Kyle Allen and bench Davis Mills.
It’ll be Kyle Allen for the #Texans at QB Sunday, sources say. Lovie Smith declined to make a starter in his press conference today.

This shouldn't come as a surprise as Mills has struggled all season passing for 2,144 yards and recording 11 TDs and 11 interceptions over the course of 10 games.
Kyle Allen will have his hands full against the 7-3 Dolphins that sit atop the AFC East. Allen hasn't started a game since the 2020 season, when he started 4 games for Washington. The team went 1-3 in those games, and he threw 4TDs and just 1 interception.
For his career Allen has started a total of 17 games with 4,318 passing yards, 24 TDs, and 17 interceptions.

Oswald Peraza hit a two-run single in the ninth inning to help the Los Angeles Angels snap a three-game losing skid by beating the Houston Astros 4-1 on Saturday night.
Peraza entered the game as a defensive replacement in the seventh inning and hit a bases-loaded fly ball to deep right field that eluded the outstretched glove of Cam Smith. It was the fourth straight hit off Astros closer Bryan Abreu (3-4), who had not allowed a run in his previous 12 appearances.
The Angels third run of the ninth inning scored when Mike Trout walked with the bases loaded.
Kyle Hendricks allowed one run while scattering seven hits over six innings. He held the Astros to 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position, the one hit coming on Jesús Sánchez’s third-inning infield single that scored Jeremy Peña.
Reid Detmers worked around a leadoff walk to keep the Astros scoreless in the seventh, and José Fermin (3-2) retired the side in order in the eighth before Kenley Jansen worked a scoreless ninth to earn his 24th save.
