Heinicke wins starting job after Commanders top Texans ****** November ****** HOUSTON (AP) After Taylor Heinicke led the Washington Commanders to yet another win, coach Ron Rivera made the announcement that had become inevitable: Heinicke is no longer the backup to Carson Wentz.Heinicke threw for ****** yards to improve to ****** as a starter, Kendall Fuller returned an interception for a touchdown, and the Commanders rolled to a ****** win over the haple s Houston Texans on Sunday.Heinicke, thrust into the starting role when Wentz fractured a finger, had another solid performance to help the Commanders ****** build on Monday night's victory over previously unbeaten Philadelphia. Washington has won five of six and is above . ****** for the first time since Week 1.We are going to go with Taylor, and well work Carson back in and see where Carson is in terms of when hes ready to be the backup, he said. Then, well go from there.Asked why he made the decision, Rivera was succinct.Winning, he said. Thats the truth. Thats where we are.Heinicke was out of football two years ago before Washington signed him as its quarantine quarterback.Being a starting quarterback in the NFL, its every kids dream, he said. It means a lot to me. Its very special to me. I just want to keep this thing rolling.Davis Mills threw two interceptions and Houston mustered a season Dwayne Washington Jersey -low ****** yards of offense as the Texans ****** lost their fifth straight and remained the NFLs only one-win team. Theres not a whole lot that were doing well," coach Lovie Smith said. Were building. Were not quite there yet. Were not a good football team right now. Washington led ****** at halftime behind a TD run by Curtis Samuel and a historically bad first half by Houstons offense.The Texans were outgained ****** in the first half, their fewest net yards in a half franchise history. Their previous worst was 8 in the first half of a ****** lo s to the Bills last season. It was the fewest yards by a team in a half since the Raiders had minus ****** in a win over the Broncos in ****** . Mills had minus-1 yard pa sing in the first half as he was sacked three times before the break.Smith became defensive when peppered with questions about whether he's considered benching Mills and scoffed at the notion that he'd make a decision like that immediately after a game.You say it starts with quarterback, he said. But no, it starts up front. ... And today with that type of pre sure, I dont know how many quarterbacks could have had succe s.The Willie Roaf Jersey Commanders scored only a field goal after halftime, but their dominant first half was plenty.The crowd had so many Commanders fans that chants of defense, defense could be heard on a couple of po se sions when Houston had the ball. About the only reactions from Texans fans were boos, except for the cheers that came when third baseman Alex Bregman of the World Series champion Houston Astros was shown on the big screens in the first half. Montez Sweat and Jonathan Allen had two sacks apiece and combined for six quarterback hits to lead a Washington defense that hurried and hara sed Mills all day. To see your DBs come out strong like that, you know its going to be a good game, Allen said. Especially with a younger quarterback, for him to throw a pick-6 on the second or third play of the game, we know it would affect him a little bit. Probably hold a little bit longer than he was naturally going to.Houston rookie Dameon Pierce, who entered the game ranked fifth in the NFL with ****** yards rushing, had ****** carries for a season-low Morten Andersen Jersey ****** yards. The Commanders took an early lead when Fuller stepped in front of a pa s intended for Brandin Cooks, grabbed the ball and returned it ****** yards to the end zone on Houstons second offensive play.Washington made it ****** when early in the second quarter.The Texans finally found some offense on their first drive of the third quarter when Cooks grabbed a ****** yard reception. Mills scrambled for 4 yards on fourth-and-3 from the ****** to keep that drive going.Rookie John Ridgeway got an unnece sary roughne s penalty for upending Pierce and throwing him to the ground on the next play to give Houston a first down at the 5. But the Texans settled for a field goal to make it ****** after Mills was sacked on third down.Mills' second interception came in the fourth quarter when Benjamin St-Juste made a diving catch on a long throw to give Washington the ball on its 3.Mills scrambled for a 4-yard touchdown with about three minutes left. INJURIESCommanders: There was a chance early in the week that DE Chase Young, who has mi sed more than a year since tearing the ACL in his right knee, could return. But he remained out Sunday. ... St-Juste left in the fourth quarter with an ankle injury.Texans: CB Derek Stingley, the third overall pick in this years draft, mi sed the game with a hamstring injury.PAYING TRIBUTERivera and TE Logan Thomas wore Virginia T-shirts before the game to pay tribute to three of the schools football players who were shot dead last weekend as they returned from a field trip. Rivera wore his T-shirt on the field during pre-game warmups and Thomas donned his as he arrived at the stadium to honor Lavel Davis Jr., DSean Perry and Devin Chandler.Theyre our neighbors and a part Malcolm Roach Jersey of our community, Rivera said.
