Long second quarter drive from Mills ends in a field goal, Texans lead 13-7 0:53 remaining in the half.
Packers attempted a fourth down effort in vain before the drive began. The Texans drive was extended on an incomplete pass on third down when Mills absorbed a late, high hit for a roughing the passer penalty. His intended receiver was also interfered with on the same play, which gave the Texans a first-and-goal from the 7.
Lots of vanilla looks from the Packers defense, not surprising in the first preseason game. So hard to tell just how well Mills is handling the poise, but ok with these 4-man rushes.
Texans D with the takeaway immediately following, as DE Jonathan Greenard with had a strip sack then DT Jahleel Johnson recovered at the Packers' 17.
Mills gives it right back with an interception inside the 5. Just off target to Warring. Strange that his medium range passes seem to have better accuracy than his short-range and screen attempts.
Texans burn their timeouts with the Packers offense pinned inside their end of the field in an effort to get the back with seconds before the half. Packers play along with 3 quicks runs going nowhere and get the ball at midfield with :06 remaining. Short pass ends the half.
Texans 13 Packers 7
