Texans sticking with Kyle Allen despite ugly loss to Miami

Houston coach Lovie Smith is sticking with Kyle Allen, even after Allen struggled in the Texans' ugly 30-15 loss to the Miami Dolphins

NOVEMBER 27, 2022 • Associated Press

Struggles in Week 12 start Allen completed 26 of 39 passes for 215 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions and rushed four times for 12 yards in the Texans' 30-15 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Impact Allen's final numbers were serviceable, but a good portion were accumulated after the Texans were already down 30-0. The fifth-year pro's second pick short-circuited any hopes of a last-gasp comeback for Houston, as it came with 2:48 remaining at the Dolphins' 19-yard line. Aaron Wilson of KPRC-2 reports that head coach Lovie Smith plans on affording Allen another start in Week 13 at home against the Browns, a game that will mark Deshaun Watson's first regular-season game action since he was a member of the Texans back in December 2020.

Texans bench struggling QB Davis Mills for Kyle Allen

The Houston Texans have benched Davis Mills and will start Kyle Allen at quarterback Sunday against the Dolphins

NOVEMBER 25, 2022 • Associated Press

Confirmed as Week 12 starter Head coach Lovie Smith confirmed Friday that Allen will start at quarterback Sunday versus the Dolphins, Deepi Sidhu of the Texans' official site reports.

Impact With the Texans sitting on a 1-8-1 record through 10 games, Allen will be given the chance to attempt to right the ship while struggling starter Davis Mills moves to the bench. Smith hasn't revealed his plans at quarterback beyond Week 12, but for now, Allen represents a fantasy lineup option for those who had been utilizing Mills, as well as for managers looking to add signal-caller depth in deeper formats. In 21 career regular-season games with Washington and Carolina, Allen has completed 63.1 percent of his throws for 6.9 yards per attempt and a 24:17 TD:INT while adding four scores on the ground.

Trending toward Week 12 start Allen is slated to receive first-team QB reps Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, while coach Lovie Smith declined to name a starting QB in his press conference Wednesday, Allen is expected to draw the start in place of Davis Mills on Sunday against the Dolphins. In such a scenario, Allen is worthy of Week 12 lineup consideration for those who would normally utilize Mills, while representing an option for those in deeper leagues looking to add signal-caller depth.

Could replace Mills Houston head coach Lovie Smith suggested changes are coming, which could involve Allen replacing Davis Mills as quarterback, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports....

Impact Smith's comments struck a different tone than the previous week when he was asked about making a change at quarterback. "Made some decisions on how we're going to go forward. Like all changes, anything that we do from week to week, we've got to talk to the players before we talk to you," Smith added. Mills had just 22 passing yards and a pick-six in the first half of Sunday's loss to the Commanders, one week after he had just 35 yards in the first half against the Giants. It's been two years since Allen started a game in the NFL, but the Texans need to shake up an offense that ranks last in yards per game and 30th in points per game.
