Somehow, despite all the mud the Houston Texans had caught in their tires and the wind that had caught sail under Trevor Lawrence’s hair, for the ninth time in a row (!!!), the Texans defeat the Jacksonville Jaguars, 13-6.
That box score may look nasty, but it only tells half the story. The Texans gained a game-total of 248 yards to Jacksonville’s 422, and every possession featured grungy scrimmage battles, batted passes, and terrible misses. Davis Mills returned with wild inaccuracy throughout much of the game, but Trevor Lawrence responded in kind. The Texans saw drives die again and again in a matter of minutes, but each time, the defense answered the call.
