The Houston Texans lost to AFC South rival Jacksonville Jaguars by a score of 21-24. Matt Amendola had his game-tying field goal attempt fall inches short by hitting the crossbar. Rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud continued to shine by throwing for over 300 yards with two touchdowns and rushing for another score. Fans filled NRG Stadium with “MVP” chants after Stroud’s spectacular plays. (Photos by Jack Gorman)
