Texans Beat Jaguars, Maintain AFC South Lead

The Houston Texans secured a crucial 23-20 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, with Joe Mixon playing a pivotal role by rushing for 101 yards and scoring a touchdown. This win, marked by Mixon's impressive performance, comes just before their bye week and maintains their two-game lead in the AFC South. Mixon became the third player in NFL history to achieve at least 100 yards rushing and a rushing touchdown in six road games within a season. C.J. Stroud contributed by throwing a crucial 22-yard touchdown pass to Dalton Schultz in the fourth quarter. The Texans have dominated recent matchups against the Jaguars, winning their 12th game in 14 meetings. The victory was timely as the Texans have struggled offensively in recent games, scoring only their second second-half touchdown in seven games.
