HOUSTON – Davis Mills calmly delivered the football as he just kept throwing and patiently read the defense despite an ice-cold start.

Mills’ trademark stoic demeanor served him well Thursday night, just as that low-key approach did during his other two starts this season as the replacement for injured starter C.J. Stroud.

It was Mills on the winning side again, improving to 3-0 as he helped the Texans engineer a 23-19 upset victory over the Buffalo Bills.

After beginning the game 1 for 8 for 10 yards during a frustrating first quarter filled with misfired overthrows from Mills and dropped passes, he heated up. He completed 10 of 13 throws for 112 yards and two touchdown passes to Jayden Higgins and Christian Kirk and finished the game 16 of 30 for 153 yards and a 90.0 passer rating.
