Minnesota Vikings running back A.J. Rose Jr. had six carries for 41 yards and two touchdowns versus the Kansas City Chiefs.

Davis Mills Throws Three Picks

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills went 10-for-27 for 106 yards and two touchdowns to go along with three interceptions during the preseason matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
