Stroud, who threw for 345 yards, led a nine-play, 69-yard drive to give Houston (3-1, 2-0 AFC South) its only points and survive a scare by the winless Jaguars (0-4 0-1 South). A final heave and a couple of laterals led to a stop at the 1-yard line to ice the game.

HOUSTON – C.J. Stroud adeptly sold the play-action fake, seamlessly rolling out to his right in perfect timing with running back Dare Ogunbowale.

The Houston Texans' second half was far from productive. After leading 17-13 at the break, Houston saw the Jacksonville Jaguars take a 20-17 lead. The Texans were unable to match the Jaguars' third-quarter score.
