C.J. Stroud is using his feet more than he has this season, running for 31 yards on five carries. His 1-yard touchdown run on third down on a fake handoff has given the Texans their first lead of the day.
Houston went up 14-13 when Matt Ammendola sneaked the PAT through the upright with 8:10 left in the third quarter.
The Jaguars led 13-7 at halftime, missing a chance to go up by more on a goal-line stop by Houston on the final play of the first half, and received the second half kickoff. The Jaguars moved to the Houston 48 before Derek Stingley Jr. picked Trevor Lawrence.
Tight end Evan Engram was held by safety Jalen Pitre but no flag was thrown, much to the Jaguars’ chagrin.
Stroud has completed 15 of 19 passes for 166 yards and a touchdown.
