In a tightly contested game, the Houston Texans edged the Jacksonville Jaguars 23-20, bolstered by Joe Mixon's impressive 101 rushing yards and a touchdown. The Texans, now leading the AFC South, celebrated their second win in five weeks, while the Jaguars continued their struggles, losing their fifth straight game.

Mixon's performance marked a historic achievement, making him the third player in NFL history to rush for over 100 yards and a touchdown in six road games within a single season. C.J. Stroud also played a pivotal role, throwing for 242 yards and a key touchdown to Dalton Schultz.

The game was marred by a serious hit on Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who was sidelined with a concussion after a violent tackle by Azeez Al-Shaair, leading to tensions on the field. Despite a late rally led by Mac Jones, the Jaguars couldn't overcome the deficit.
