Mills was even keeled almost to a fault throughout Sunday's game, according to Schultz. The tight end said the team had to tell him to speak up several times in the huddle because they couldn't hear him relay the play call. But the calm, confident nature of Mills in the face of adversity instilled the same spirit in his teammates to battle back.

Mills finished the game completing 27 of 46 pass attempts for 292 yards and three total touchdowns against one interception. Nico Collins finished with seven catches for 137 yards. Houston's defense secured five sacks, four of which came by Danielle Hunter.

In an important AFC South battle, the Houston Texans play host to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday afternoon.

The aftermath: The pass helped get the Texans moving. Six plays later, they were in Jaguars territory and Mills scored the go-ahead touchdown on the drive's 14th play to give Houston its first lead of the game with 31 seconds left. Schultz also atoned for a third-down drop earlier in the second half that led to turnover on downs.

Jacksonville’s Josh Hines-Allen, a seventh-year pro, needs half a sack to take sole possession of the franchise record. Allen notched No. 55 with an overtime takedown of Raiders quarterback Geno Smith last week, tying the mark set by Tony Brackens in 2003.

Backup Davis Mills threw two touchdown passes in the final quarter and scrambled 14 yards for the go-ahead score with 31 seconds left and the Houston Texans rallied from a 19-point

The Houston Texans came back after being down 29-10 in the second half to win in final minute and keep playoff hopes alive.
