The Houston Texans secured a 23-20 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars at EverBank Stadium on Sunday and enter the bye week at 8-5.
Joe Mixon continued his Pro Bowl season after rushing for 101 yards and a touchdown. He became the third running back in NFL history with at least 100 yards rushing and a rushing touchdown in six road games in the same season, along with Tiki Barber of the New York Giants (2004) and Derrick Henry of Tennessee (2020).
“Joe is an old-school running back,” Texans coach Ryans said. “He’s the type of guy who wants it 30 times and he just gets better the more touches he gets. I'm really proud of him for knowing he's in a bad place and still persevering. To still produce yards even when they load the box and still be able to find a way to get yards.”
Nico Collins returned to his All-Pro status after catching eight passes for 119 yards, while Dalton Schultz gave him his first touchdown reception of the season on a 22-yard pass from CJ Stroud.
Stroud, who didn't have a turnover for the first time in three games, completed 22 of 34 passes for 242 yards and a score. Schultz, who finished the game with five catches for 61 yards, capped the win over Jacksonville, which has lost five straight games and 15 of its last 18.
