In a tightly contested matchup, the Houston Texans edged out the Jacksonville Jaguars 23-20, with Joe Mixon leading the charge with 101 rushing yards and a touchdown. This victory marked the Texans' second win in five weeks, helping them maintain their lead in the AFC South.
Mixon's performance made him the third player in NFL history to rush for over 100 yards and a touchdown in six road games within a single season. Meanwhile, C.J. Stroud's solid passing game, including a crucial touchdown to Dalton Schultz, helped secure the win.
The game was marred by a serious injury to Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who suffered a concussion after a hit from linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair, leading to scuffles on the field. Lawrence was ruled out for the remainder of the game, and the Jaguars faced additional injuries to key defensive players.
