Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills capped off a 15-play, 75-yard touchdown drive with a 22-yard strike to receiver Brandin Cooks on a third-and-1.
The score gave the Texans a 7-0 lead over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15 at TIAA Bank Field.
On Dec. 16, Cooks said the best thing Mills can do to grow as a quarterback is take what the defense gives you.
“When the play is not there, being able to find your back and take the check down and keep the chain moving and being efficient,” Cooks said. “I think as long as he continues to grow in that aspect, he has a great chance to be great. You see that from him throughout practice just not forcing things that aren’t there.”
Mills helped the Texans take the lead in the first quarter.
