Mills and the Texans will need to clean up their miscues and find a way to finish if they hope to win at Jacksonville (2-2) on Sunday.
HOUSTON — The Houston Texans have had chances to win every game they’ve played, but they’ve yet to put together a complete performance.Houston started fast in each of its first three games but couldn’t finish. Then, on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers, the Texans trailed by 20 at halftime before scoring 17 straight points to get within a field goal in the fourth quarter.
“I like the way the team fought back, gave ourselves a chance to win at the end, but we didn’t finish,” coach Lovie Smith said. “You need to finish the game, and we didn’t finish the game the way we need to.” Mike Williams had a 50-yard reception on Sunday to set up the Chargers’ second touchdown and Austin Ekeler was wide open on a 21-yard reception on fourth down to keep the team’s game-sealing drive going.
He played better in the second half but couldn’t get the Texans in the end zone after they recovered a fumble on the Chargers 16 in the fourth quarter. He was sacked and fumbled on second down on that drive. The Texans recovered his fumble, but he threw an incompletion on third down that forced the team to settle for a field goal.
