After the Jacksonville Jaguars had an impressive deep connection between sixth-round rookie quarterback Jake Luton and receiver D.J. Chark, the Jaguars were able to acquire another touchdown in the second quarter. This time it was from their star rookie tailback James Robinson, who was able to pound one in from the 1-yard line.

He has surpassed Phillip Lindsay for the most scrimmage yards by an undrafted rookie through the first 9 weeks of a season in NFL history.

Robinson is making quite the case for Offensive Rookie of the Year as the undrafted phenom out of Illinois State University acquired his fifth rushing touchdown of the year against the Houston Texans and his seventh touchdown overall.
After a 1-yard score from Texans running back Duke Johnson, the Jags found themselves trailing by a score of 20-13 after Houston’s last drive. However, Jags place kicker Josh Lambo was able to answer back with a 59-yard field goal before the half, putting the score at a 20-16 figure.
