The team lacks a lot of elite offensive weapons, but Mills has enough to work with to be a better performer than what he has shown through two games. That was a winnable game in Denver. Heck, I guess this is two games in a row where the Texans have lost a game with a fourth quarter lead.
The defense has improved though. Pitre is easy to like. Something there with Stingley that makes his development promising.

Eh, give him some time, I think. He still has less than a full season of starter experience. In time, he will either sink or swim....

Denver fans attracted national attention for something they started doing in the 3rd quarter. After a delay of game penalty or two, they started counting down the play clock when Denver had the ball. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, etc. You could hear it all over the stadium - sorta sarcastically helping the team out. I heard some TV talking heads declare them as "football-smart fans". OK. I did feel a tinge of jealousy when I saw the 3 Super Bowl victory pennants hanging on the wall ('97, '98 and 2015).
Also, when the Broncos score, there are popping fireworks and flames that shoot out of the top of the big screen right where the big white Bronco statue is. The radiant heat from those flames can be felt by everyone sitting in the end zone seats below...
