Arr, the scurvy dogs of Houston Texans be shootin' wide of the mark with their feeble field goal attempt, thus grantin' the Jacksonville Jaguars a sweet victory and claim to the treasure chest of first place in the AFC South!
In a thrilling match in Houston, the Jacksonville Jaguars emerged victorious with a 24-21 win over the Texans. The game came down to the wire, with the Texans attempting a field goal that fell just short, allowing the Jaguars to secure the win and take sole possession of first place in the AFC South.The Texans had a chance for a comeback in the fourth quarter, led by rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud, who showcased his talent with his arm and legs. Despite their efforts, the Texans fell short and had to settle for a field goal attempt.
Head coach DeMeco Ryans made the bold decision to go for a 58-yard field goal instead of attempting a fourth-down conversion. Unfortunately for the Texans, the ball hit the bottom of the goal post, allowing the Jaguars to kneel out the game and improve their record to 8-3.
Both quarterbacks, Lawrence for the Jaguars and Stroud for the Texans, put on an impressive performance. Lawrence finished the game with 364 passing yards, one touchdown, an interception, and a rushing score. Stroud, on the other hand, had 304 passing yards, two touchdowns, and a rushing score.
The Jaguars' first touchdown came from Lawrence himself, who extended his long frame over the goal line. Stroud responded for the Texans, leading them on a drive that resulted in a touchdown pass to Tank Dell.
The game was filled with momentum shifts, including a crucial interception by the Texans' defense and a touchdown by Stroud to give Houston the lead. However, the Jaguars rallied back, with Calvin Ridley scoring a touchdown and a two-point conversion.
Ultimately, it was the missed field goal attempt by the Texans that sealed the Jaguars' victory. Ridley and Kirk were standout performers for the Jaguars, while Collins led the Texans in receiving yards.
