The game between the Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguars escalated when Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair delivered a late hit on Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence during a slide. The hit, which appeared to knock Lawrence unconscious, sparked a brawl on the field, resulting in ejections for both Al-Shaair and Jaguars tight end Evan Engram.

After the incident, Lawrence was carted off with a concussion, while Mac Jones stepped in as quarterback for the Jaguars. The Texans faced backlash from fans, and coach DeMeco Ryans emphasized that such plays do not reflect the team's values.
