Final Score: Texans 36, Jaguars 29

Writer: Jay Felicio (@GMenJay on X/Twitter)

 

The final score may make it seem this game was neck-and-neck throughout, but it was more of a miracle comeback. Houston went into the fourth quarter down 19 and would go ahead for good after Davis scrambled for the go-ahead touchdown with 30ish seconds left. The Jags’ last-ditch effort would end in disaster with the Texans’ defense ending the game with a sack, fumble recovery, and a score as time expired. The game would end in a Scorigami.

Three Up

  • Nico Collins — Proved he’s QB-proof with a season high in targets and receiving yards.
  • Woody Marks — Led the Texans’ backfield in carries for his second-highest fantasy point total of the year.
  • Dalton Schutlz — Targeted 11 times and caught his first touchdown of the season.

Three Down

  • Trevor Lawrence — Unsurprisingly struggled through the air against Houston.
  • Travis Etienne — Salvaged a decent fantasy performance by getting in the end zone.
  • Jaguars fans — Blowing a 19-point lead in the fourth quarter is rough.

 

Jacksonville Jaguars

 

Quarterback

 

Trevor Lawrence: 13/23, 158 Yards, 1 TD, 1 INT 

Trevor Lawrence made some nice plays in the first half, and the Jaguars were able to get a quick 10-point lead thanks to two early turnovers. Lawrence was able to evade pressure with a little over four minutes left in the second quarter and hit tight end Alan Trammel with a 15-yard completion to get the Jags within field-goal range. The play was challenged by Houston but upheld, leading to Jacksonville kicker Cam Little nailing a 53-yarder. But Lawrence would amass just 59 passing yards in the second half, with the Texans’ defensive pressure leading to multiple second-half sacks. Lawrence’s second turnover of the day would be a costly one: a game-ending strip sack, returned for a touchdown as time expired by Will Anderson.

 

Running Back

 

Travis Etienne: 16 Carries, 58 Yards 1TD | 4 Targets, 2 Reception, 19 Yards

He had his second straight game with over 15 fantasy points, but Travis Etienne didn’t look particularly good. ETN totaled just 58 rushing yards on 16 carries with an abysmal 3.6 yards per carry. He saw his usual allotment of pass-game work but came down with just two catches for 19 yards. He plowed through multiple Texans defenders for a 6-yard score in the third, capping it off with the trademark touchdown celebration of former Houston running back Arian Foster.

 

Bayshul Tuten: 4 Carries, 5 Yards | 2 Targets, 1 Reception, 5 Yards

Bayshul Tuten saw six total opportunities, but played less than 30% of snaps and remains nothing more than the handcuff to Etienne. He briefly left the game in the third quarter with an injury but was able to return on the Jags’ next drive.

 

Wide Receiver/Tight End

 

Parker Washington: 7 Targets, 3 Receptions, 33 Yards, 1 TDs | 2 carries, -4 Yards

He led the team with seven targets, but Parker Washington was only able to turn them into just three catches for 33 yards. One of those catches was an incredible toe-tap touchdown in the corner of the end zone with two Texans defenders draped all over him. He would follow up the first-quarter touchdown with a 75-yard punt return score in the second quarter.

Missed Opportunities

  • Jacksonville ended the first half with abysmal time management that started with a mistake from Washington. He came a yard short of a first down on second-and-18 when he failed reach out for the first-down marker. The flub forced the Jags to run a QB sneak for the first down, wasting a ton of time. Lawrence would end up throwing an interception on the very next play.

 

Jakobi Meyers: 3 Targets, 3 Receptions, 41 Yards.

All in all, it was a respectable debut for the newly acquired Jaguars receiver Jakobi Meyers. He let the team in receiving yards and showed off his incredible hands with a 10-yard catch with his eyes closed, falling out with Houston CB Tremon Smith all over him. The receiver room is eventually going to get awfully crowded when Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter return, but it was a welcome sight to see Meyers assimilate into the Jags’ offense so seamlessly.

Missed Opportunities

  • Meyers should have had the game’s first touchdown, but the score was called back on a false start penalty.

 

Austin Trammel: 3 Targets, 2 Reception, 22 Yards

Made a tough 15-yard catch over the middle on a third-and-20 to get the Jags within field-goal range.

 

Houston Texans

 

Quarterback

 

Davis Mills: 27/45, 292 Yards, 2 TD, 2 Pt Conversion, 1 INT | 3 Carries, 20 Yards, 1TD

Davis Mills did his best Week 1 J.J. McCarthy impression versus the Jags. Mills was miserable most of the game, opening the game with a first-drive interception on a pass intended for Christian Kirk. Mills would shake off the first three quarters to score three times in the final period, two passing touchdowns and the go-ahead rushing touchdown on a 14-yard scramble. For most of the game, he was missing receivers, but he made play after play in the fourth quarter, including some incredible throws in tight spots. He’ll head back to the bench as soon as C.J. Stroud clears concussion protocol, but Mills orchestrated a truly miraculous comeback that possibly saved Houston’s season.

Missed Opportunities

  • Nearly connected with Jaylin Lane for a 20-yard touchdown.
  • Coughed up a fumble after a long rushing play.

 

Running Back

 

Woody Marks: 14 Carries, 63 Yards, 1 TD | 3 Targets, 2 Receptions, 18 Yards

Nick Chubb: 5 Carries, 47 Yards | 1 Target, 1 Reception, 5 fiards

Woody Marks had over 11 carries for the second time this season and score his second rushing touchdown on a short dive in the second quarter. Marks took all the goal-line carries and accounted for 14 of the team’s 19 rushing attempts. Nick Chubb handled just five attempts for the second time this season, but averaged over 9 yards per carry. We’ve been down this road before. But Marks once again showed he’s able to carry the load if the Texans will trust him with it.

 

Wide Receiver/Tight End

 

Nico Collins: 15 Targets, 7 Receptions, 136 Yards

Talks of Nico Collins‘ demise have been greatly exaggerated. Despite having Mills under center, Collins made plays all day, turning a season-high 15 targets into seven catches, 136 receiving yards, and a ridiculous one-handed grab with some toe-drag swag to come down with a 2-point conversion. It was just the second game this season over 100 yards for Collins, but it was arguably the best he’s looked all season, and his third straight game with double-digit targets.

Missed Opportunities

  • Mills missed Collins multiple times in the end zone.

 

Jayden Higgins: 7 Targets, 5 Receptions, 72 Yards 1 TD 

For the second time in three weeks, Jayden Higgins saw at least seven targets and got into the end zone with a tough catch after hitting the DB with a shimmy and cutting back towards the center of the end zone. It wasn’t an overly impressive performance, totaling just 42 yards, but the five receptions were his highest total this season.

 

Jaylin Noel: 4 Targets, 4 Receptions, 35 Yards
Christian Kirk: 3 Targets, 1 Receptions, 3 Yards

The return of Christian Kirk continued to hinder the production of Jaylin Noel. Noel played roughly 33% of snaps compared to 42% for Kirk, with both doing just enough to cannibalize each other’s fantasy value.

 

Dalton Schultz: 11 Targets, 7 Receptions, 53 Yards, 1 TD

A season -high 11 targets led to Dalton Schultz‘s third game over 13 fantasy points in his last four and his second over 18. He came down with a leaping grab in the back of the end zone for his first touchdown catch of the season and made a key 20-yard catch on third down to extend what would be the game-winning drive.

Missed Opportunities

  • Schultz dropped a sure thing first down on third-and-5 in the third quarter.
