The Jacksonville Jaguars struggled on third downs but managed to recover a fumble and convert a third down to reach the red zone. Despite being down by one score, they closed in on the Cleveland Browns at 21-14 with a touchdown run by Etienne. Heading into the 4th quarter, the Jaguars faced a 2nd-and-10 at their own 6, trailing 21-14. The Texans, with a 7-6 record, had a disappointing performance, losing 30-6 to the Jets, providing an opportunity for the Jaguars to extend their lead in the AFC South.
#Jaguars now have chance to tie or win game if Doug goes for 2-pt. PAT.
What a wasted opportunity by the Texans. Jaguars are losing at Cleveland. Colts lost to Bengals. Texans play at Titans, Browns, Titans, at Colts. They're 7-6 after losing 30-6 to the Jets.
#Jaguars will face a 2nd-and-10 at own 6 going into 4th quarter, trailing 21-14. Only game they won this year trailing in 4th was season opener, 31-21, against Indy when they were down 21-17.
Under the circumstances of being one game behind the Jags with a 7-5 record, this is the Texans worst performance of the season. They trail the Jets 21-6. The bleeping Jets.
#Jaguars close to 21-14 on Etienne's 1 TD run. 6 plays, 25 yards. 4:59 left in third
With both @Texans and @Colts losing by double digits in 2nd half, and @Jaguars now within 21-14, real opportunity now to extend lead in AFC South.
Jaguars pretty fortunate to only be down one score. Set to receive to start the 2nd half.

That's second 3-and-out in three possessions for #Jaguars offense.
Jaguars 0-3 on third down so far
First TD of the day is a total whiff in coverage from the Jaguars on third-and-1. https://t.co/io1m9DscsY
