Texans vs. Jaguars first quarter recap
Jaguars 2nd drive (10 plays, 75 yards, 4:17) — [continued] Jacksonville is not shaken up by the success Houston had on its first two touches of the ball. The Jaguars cap off a 10-play, 75-yard drive with RB James Robinson rushing for a 1-yard touchdown. Texans, 14-10
Texans 2nd drive (3 plays, 11 yards, 2:44) — Nothing like starting off the first play of the drive with an illegal formation. DT Malcolm Brown sacks QB Davis Mills on the first-and-15, and it essentially dooms the drives to a three-and-out.
Jaguars 3rd drive (3 plays, -7 yards, 1:36) — The rain starts to fall with 8:48 to go until halftime, and it leads to a Jaguars three-and-out. DL Chris Smith was a key part of the three-and-out series.
Texans 3rd drive (7 plays, 15 yards, 4:43) — Mills actually shows composure of making good decisions despite the downpour. The Texans get into field goal range as K Ka’imi Fairbairn connects on a 52-yard field goal. Texans, 17-10
Jaguars 4th drive (8 plays, 32 yards, 2:45) — The Texans stop the Jaguars on a fourth-and-1 with QB Trevor Lawrence getting stuffed on a sneak. The Texans take over at their own 38-yard line.
Texans 4th drive (5 plays, 29 yards, 0:21) — Houston does have all three of its timeout, which makes a drive doable with 21 seconds to go and taking the ball at their own 38-yard line. Mills does allow Fairbairn to get in range for a 52-yard field goal, which he nails right down Broadway. Texans, 20-10
