Houston Texans' rookie quarterback, C.J. Stroud, showcased a strong performance against the Jaguars, scoring 3 total touchdowns, including a 1-yard run for a touchdown. Stroud's efforts, including a 21-yard pass to Collins and a 120.6 rating, led the Texans to a brief 14-13 lead. However, a missed 58-yard field goal resulted in a 24-21 win for the Jaguars, despite Stroud's 31 rushing yards. The Jaguars' victory was led by Trevor Lawrence's 364 passing yards and two total touchdowns, improving their record to 8-3.
Trevor Lawrence threw for a season-high 364 yards today. Just 4 yards off his career high. He stepped up to the moment to win Game 2 of budding AFC QB rivalry with C.J. Stroud and put Jaguars in driver seat for division crown.

Stroud has run 5 times for 31 yards and a TD. He's 15 of 19 for 166 yards, 1 TD and a 120.6 rating. Texans up 14-13 with 8:10 left in third quarter.

Texans capitalize on Stingley INT by going 46 yards in 7 plays. Stroud's pass to Collins for 21 yards and Singletary's 15-yard run to the 1 were big plays. Stroud did a great fake handoff up the middle and scored easily on a 1-yard run to the corner for the TD and a 14-13 lead.
And CJ Stroud runs it in on what looked like a play-action call that wasn't there—Texans 14, Jags 13. Stroud's 15-of-19 for 166 yards and a TD, with another 31 yards (and the aforementioned TD) on 5 carries.

Because Jags are fourth in run defense and Texans are eighth, neither team has been able to run. The second half will be decided by Stroud vs. Lawrence. So far, Texans offense has been inconsistent and unimpressive except for 1 TD drive.
Jags have outgained Texans 247-169. Texans have outrushed Jags 41-28. Stroud is leading rusher with 30 yards. Singletary and Pierce have been stuffed, combining for 6 carries and 11 yards. Stroud is 12 of 16 for 135 yards, 1 TD, 120.6 rating. Lawrence is 10 of 16 for 219, 106.2.
CJ Stroud has made three terrific throws against his body while rolling left today. One for a TD, one for 59 yards that got called back, and one along the sideline that was narrowly incomplete. Great stuff.

Texans offense comes alive for a 5-play, 75-yard TD drive. Stroud connects with Woods for 26 with Singletary for 33 on a screen pass and Dell for a 7-yard TD that makes it Jags 10-7.

Good to see the Texans' offense come alive to get on the board with a seven-yard touchdown pass from Stroud to Tank. Houston trails Jacksonville 10-7 in the second quarter. #Texans #Sarge #TexansWire

CJ Stroud to Tank Dell is becoming automatic. 🔒 https://t.co/oDA3bGYm6o
An uninspired first quarter by the Texans offense that has 19 yards. A miserable showing for an offense that's getting pulverized at the line of scrimmage. Texans can't run or protect Stroud through the first quarter. Jaguars lead 3-0. They have 17 yards rushing on 6 carries.
CJ Stroud is a big fan of the “fuck it Tank Dell down there somewhere” throw
Texans began their second series with a 9-yard run by Singletary that was wiped out on Mason's hold. Offense looks sluggish on first two possessions. Jaguars are playing solid defense.
Trevor Lawrence was 4 of 6 for 57 yards on Jacksonville's field goal drive. Stroud was 2 of 2 for 17 yards on Texans first possession. Jags lead 3-0.
After forcing the Texans to punt on their first series, the Jaguars scored on a 12-play, 65-yard drive that ended with Brandon McManus' 40-yard FG for a 3-0 lead. The Texans are accustomed to falling behind and trying to rally.
