Saints added a FG about 2½ minutes into the 4th qtr to take the lead by 3.
With little time left, Driskel led the Texans down field for the go ahead score. Rookie Johnny Johnson III had a big catch and then the scoring catch, a 6 yard pass from Driskel with 25 seconds left.
Final score:
Texans 17, Saints 13
------------------------------------------------------
Didn't see much of Davis Mills ... Driskel, however, didn't look too bad - if anything, he showed he could be a functional to good backup QB......
Pierce really looked good. Spencer Tillman was comparing him to Arian Foster...... Not sure about that one - need to see how he does against A-teams.... He might be a gem, though.... So far, he has shown to be an exciting runner.
DL Ogbonnia Okoronkwo (Rams 3 years) and rookie LB Jake Hansen (Illinois) had good games. DE Derek Rivers had 2 sacks.
