Twitter reacts to the Texans’ upsetting the Chargers 41-29
The Houston Texans shocked the NFL with a 41-29 win over the Los Angeles Chargers Sunday afternoon.
Rookie quarterback Davis Mills looked like a veteran once more as he completed 21-of-27 for 254 yards and two touchdowns. Mills only took one sack and posted a 130.6. The third-round pick from Stanford was an efficient distributor of the football as he threw to eight different receivers.
Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert went 27-of-35 for 336 yards, a touchdown, two interceptions, and a pick-six. It wasn’t quite the performance one would expect from Herbert going against a COVID-depleted Texans defense.
Here are some of the best tweets from Week 16.

It’s another Andrew Catalon/James Lofton #Texans Sunday. They’re quite easy to listen to.

I still get the chills when the National Anthem plays. On a side note, what a sad crowd for an NFL game. #texans #NFL #chargers pic.twitter.com/eOZ92SNp61

Rex Burkhead scores on a 25-yard TD run on the #Texans first drive. #Texans take a 7-3 lead over #Chargers after the 8-play, 75-yard scoring drive.

Tim Kelly gets to establish the run efficiently for once this season. The Chargers run D is bottom 3 in the NFL, when healthy… let alone today.
Burkhead probably back for next season with how he’s looked like the most competent #Texans RB since Ingram was traded.

I feel like this is one of those games where the #Texans could screw up and accidentally win this thing. And it would be purely incidental…

Big cheers for Simone Biles at today's game supporting boyfriend & #Texans DB Jonathan Owens.

"A bullet downfield and it's intercepted inside the 5-yard line. #Texans have it! Jonathan Owens with his first… the takeaway train has started to roll." — @TexansVoice
— Mark Lane (@therealmarklane) December 26, 2021
I feel like the #texans offense has been specifically designed by Kelly and Culley to be as inefficient as possible

WHAT A THROW!!!!! #Texans DAVIS MILLS

#Texans game observations:
– it's fun when they yell First Down
– the Whataburger game is better than the Astros mid-inning games
– @HeyyRB twerks when they score a touchdown— Mikey Mike (@heymiker) December 26, 2021
Mills is not as bad as people think. And no, I’m not saying that he is the future of this franchise. #Texans
— Texans Canada (@TexansCanada) December 26, 2021
I’m liking Mills #Texans
— Scam likely! (@justin_yomind) December 26, 2021
David Mills is no more. Bill Cowher got the #Texans QB’s name right in the highlights this week.
— Greg Rajan (@GregRajan) December 26, 2021
Probably the best halftime experience I’ve had. Better than the game tbh #Texans pic.twitter.com/nSdPdK3bUs
— Sergey Linksmith (@LinkMar1ne) December 26, 2021
Wait n see how the 2nd half plays out before we make proclamations shall we?
Great to see Mills flash but needs to play a full game. Yet to do it that this season.
A qB who can over come odds is worth investigating. Not one that people want to make excuses for.#Texans

This might be more surprising than the #Texans leading this game. pic.twitter.com/pn5u7f0WAl

I don’t wanna hear another word about the #chargers if they don’t win against the #texans today … they should be blowing them out .. LMFAOOOOOO
— A.E Newman (@truegreenthumb) December 26, 2021
is Davis Mills a Matt Schuab 2.0? #Texans

Another TD-Rex sighting for the #Texans https://t.co/Uv5uM1Dv59

If the Houston #Texans win 2 games in a row, I know the world is coming to an end 😩

Santa put some football skills in the #Texans stocking, apparently!

Love my Houston #Texans. This brings tear to my eyes. Win is a win.

Been a rough year to say the least for my #Texans but they fought today, Davis Mills jus needs some time and help

Whatever is happening with the #Texans right now, I'm here for it. #NFLTwitter #NFL

Simone Biles clearly needs to come to every #Texans game.
