Texans' Mills to start for rest of season

The Houston Texans will look to the future in the final stretch of the regular season.

Rookie quarterback Davis Mills will start for the remainder of the campaign, beginning with Sunday's matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, Texans head coach David Culley announced Friday, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Culley said Tyrod Taylor was upset by the decision to bench him.

"I wouldn't have liked it either, but this is a production business," Culley said, according to Sarah Barshop of ESPN.

Mills went winless in six starts earlier in the season while Taylor was sidelined due to injury. The third-round pick produced 1,406 yards and seven touchdowns against eight interceptions while completing 65.5% of his passes.

Taylor suffered ligament damage in his left wrist in Sunday's loss to the Indianapolis Colts, but Culley previously said the injury wouldn't factor into his decision.

The veteran signal-caller struggled over his last four starts after returning to the starting role, throwing just two touchdowns against four interceptions.
