Mills and the offense salvage a weak first half with a TD drive with one second remaining. Nico Collins uses his 37.5" vertical to grab a jump ball in the end zone, giving the Texans the 1-point lead. Collins is going to be a weapon in these situations.
Drive was accentuated by a tough sideline reception by Phillip Dorsett that required a replay review to overturn what was originally ruled incomplete. Dorsett weathered a personal foul on the reception which put the otherwise anemic offense into the red zone for the first time.
Texans 7... Rams 6
Offense missing Brandin Cooks and Laremy Tunsil, and while Marlon Mack was ok, had one good power run in particular, the offense missed some spark without them (and Pierce). Mills was not sharp, a curiously poor half from him.
