HOUSTON — The Houston Texans dropped their seventh consecutive game in a 38-22 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, Sunday afternoon, at NRG Stadium. It was a wire-to-wire defeat for the Texans, who ended the drought of 12 straight quarters without a touchdown early in the fourth.
Rookie quarterback Davis Mills finished the game with 305 yards, five sacks, two touchdowns and one interception in the loss. MVP candidate Matthew Stafford played three quarters en route to recording 305 yards and three touchdowns in the win.
The Rams once led 38-0 before the Texans scored 22 unanswered points during the final period.
The Texans fall to 1-7 on the season, and if not for the Detroit Lions having an even worse season, Houston would own the No. 1 overall pick in next year’s draft.
