Texans, Dameon Pierce Grab First Win vs. Jaguars

The Houston Texans (1-3-1) are heading back home happy after a 13-6 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Although it was an ugly victory, the Texans did what was needed in order to grab the win and improve to 1-3-1 on the season.

The Texans were knotted up 6-6 with the Jaguars before scoring a touchdown on a 12-play drive late in the fourth quarter.

Fourth-round rookie running back Dameon Pierce led the way for the Texans with 26 carries for 99 yards and the game-winning touchdown late in the fourth quarter.

The defense also shined for the Texans, coming up with two crucial turnovers on downs and a pair of interceptions, one coming in the end zone from first-round rookie cornerback Derek Stingley Jr.
