Seahawks look to win 2 in a row in visit to terrible Texans
Associated PressHOUSTON — The Seattle Seahawks will attempt to win consecutive games for the first time this season Sunday when they visit the woeful Houston Texans, losers of 10 of their last 11. “We’ve got to capture some of the rhythm that we felt in the game last week and add to it,” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. “I would love to see us play a good complementary game where we are feeding off one another on offense and defense, maybe capture some of the opportunities that could arise on special teams, and just play really good football.. “It’s a big week for us to come back, capture a win this week, and take the next step.” Despite their struggles this season, Houston coach David Culley knows better than to underestimate the Seahawks. It’s a team that always keeps the ball in front of you, and it’s a team that has also taken the ball away.” TAYLOR BENCHED The Texans benched veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor in favor of rookie Davis Mills and coach David Culley said Mills will start for the rest of the season, beginning Sunday. “That’s the hope that I can give the coaches and hopefully they can trust me to do the job.” CUNNINGHAM CUT The Texans will be without one of their most consistent defenders Sunday after waiving outside linebacker Zach Cunningham on Wednesday following his second suspension for violating team rules this season.
