Texans' Kyle Allen: 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.

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.
