The Houston Texans pulled off one of the wildest comebacks of the season over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, and in the process, the two teams combined to make some history. The game ended with the Texans topping the Jags 36-29, a score that had never been seen before in the 106-year history of the NFL.

The aftermath: The pass helped get the Texans moving. Six plays later, they were in Jaguars territory and Mills scored the go-ahead touchdown on the drive's 14th play to give Houston its first lead of the game with 31 seconds left. Schultz also atoned for a third-down drop earlier in the second half that led to turnover on downs.
