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.
