Jaguars

  • Jaguars LB Travon Walker was fined $12,172 for striking/kicking/kneeing.

Texans

Texans QB Davis Mills drew praise from all of his teammates and coaches for his play in the absence of starting QB C.J. Stroud on Sunday.

โ€œIโ€™ve always had the mentality to stay confident regardless of what happened on the play before,โ€ Mills said, via Aaron Wilson. โ€œItโ€™s kind of like the old basketball mentality: shooters shoot. If you stop youโ€™re not going to see shots go in. I think today was just a great team win. I think the whole team had faith we were going to win that game the entire time. I think our team is very confident in our own abilities. We have a lot of players who can make plays. We just needed to get things clicking.โ€

Texans

Texans WR Jaylin Noel was asked about why his role decreased since the team’s loss to the Broncos.

โ€œI just continue to prepare the same way, no matter if itโ€™s 11 snaps or 40 snaps, it doesnโ€™t matter,โ€ Noel told KPRC 2. โ€œJust being ready and when my name is called, just go capitalize on those opportunities.โ€

โ€œI mean on the offensive side of the ball weโ€™ve got to be able to sustain drives which I feel like weโ€™ve done an OK job at,โ€ Noel continued. โ€œBut then just not hurting ourselves in critical situations and being able to capitalize in the red zone.โ€

Texans HC DeMeco Ryans believes that the team’s rookie receiver duo has done all that has been asked of them.

โ€œAll our young guys have done a really nice job,โ€ Ryans said. โ€œTheyโ€™re all growing and developing, doing the things that we ask them to do. I think J. Noel and Higgs have done a really good job of the things weโ€™ve asked them to do.โ€
