Texans backup quarterback Davis Mills has played well enough in the absence of C.J. Stroud for Houston to go 3-0 and get back into playoff contention. But Mills says there's no thought that he could continue starting once Stroud is cleared to return from his concussion.

HOUSTON — The Houston Texans (6-5) kept their playoff hopes alive on Thursday night by beating the Bills at NRG Stadium in front of a national audience. It was the third straight Houston win behind backup quarterback Davis Mills. Mills has been in for starter C.J. Stroud, who’s been out since suffering a concussion in a loss to the Denver Broncos.

Footage showed Houston Texans quarterback CJ Stroud looking unpleased that Davis Mills was being praised in the locker room.

Mills threw for 274 yards and a touchdown, Matthew Wright kicked a 35-yard field goal as time expired, and the Texans beat the Tennessee Titans 16-13 on Sunday to sweep the season series with their AFC South rivals.

For the third straight week, Davis Mills will be under center for the Houston Texans as starting quarterback C.J. Stroud has been ruled Thursday night's game against the Buffalo Bills in Houston due to the concussion he suffered during the Week 9 loss vs. the Denver Broncos. Texans coach DeMeco Ryans announced the news Tuesday.
