The Houston Texans secured a crucial victory against the Jacksonville Jaguars, winning 23-20. Coach DeMeco Ryans emphasized the need for action over talk, and the team responded with a strong performance, particularly in the second half.
Quarterback C.J. Stroud delivered a solid outing, while running back Joe Mixon and wide receiver Nico Collins made significant contributions. The win not only halted the Texans' downward spiral but also extended their dominance over AFC South opponents.
Despite the victory, linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair's ejection for a hit on Trevor Lawrence cast a shadow over the game. Nevertheless, the Texans head into their bye week with renewed optimism and a two-game lead in their division.
