The Splash Zone 11/24/22: Texans bench Davis Mills, Dolphins will face Kyle Allen

First off, Happy Thanksgiving to all! Don’t eat too much.

Yesterday we saw the New York Jets bench quarterback Zach Wilson in favor of Mike White. That wasn’t the only starting quarterback change in the league as the Houston Texans benched their starter, Davis Mills, for Kyle Allen. That means Allen will have to face off against a Miami Dolphins team coming off their bye. Everyone seems to be predicting this game to very lopsided in the Dolphins favor, but don’t ever underestimate your opponent.

You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.

Perfection, pain and progress: Inside the 1972 Miami Dolphins’ fight against CTE
Matt Morrall did not very much doubt what was happening to his father.
