Taylor was 10-for-11 in the first half with 125 yards and a passing touchdown, adding a 15-yard touchdown run on the ground as well. The Texans, who were 13.5-point underdogs against the Browns, went into the half tied at 14.
Mills, a third-round pick, will have a chance to make an impression against the Browns and try to lead the Texans to a major upset win. His audition could last longer depending on the severity of Taylor's injury.
WynnBET currently has the Texans as seven-point underdogs in the second half, and they are +310 on the moneyline.
This should be a great sign for Browns bettors, as they need Cleveland to dominate in the second half in order to cover the 13.5-point spread. The Browns are -490 favorites on the moneyline as of this writing.
