Davis Mills Stays Undefeated As Texans Starter In Victory Over Bills

Davis Mills had not started an NFL game in a while heading into the 2025 season. Two full seasons to be exact.

After being drafted by the Houston Texans in 2021, Mills started the majority of matches for the following two seasons. In 2023, the team named him the backup quarterback to first-round pick C.J. Stroud.

But earlier this month, Mills got his chance when he started in a victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. And he hasn’t stopped since.

Mills started his third straight game on Thursday as he led the Texans to a third consecutive victory, defeating the Buffalo Bills 23-19 to keep the team’s playoff hopes alive.

The 27-year-old completed 53.3% of his passes during the win. He also threw 153 passing yards and recorded two touchdowns.

Mills is filling in for Stroud, who suffered a concussion in a loss against the Denver Broncos on Nov. 2. But despite his 3-0 record as a starter, Mills is aware of his place on the team.

“C.J.’s the starter for this team,” he said after Thursday’s win. “I’m just doing everything I can to bring my best foot forward every day, make everyone else around me better and try to provide and play my role to my best ability when I get thrown in there.”

The Texans will face the Indianapolis Colts next Sunday with a chance to close the gap on the AFC South leaders.
