The Houston Texans came back after being down 29-10 in the second half to win in final minute and keep playoff hopes alive.
Specifically, finding a way put more pressure on quarterbacks -- and get them on the ground -- without having to resort to blitzing. It has been an issue all season, but it really showed up in the Jaguars' 36-29 loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday.
The Houston Texans and Davis Mills put together a miraculous comeback win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
This article originally published at Texans salute late commissioner Paul Tagliabue for 'instrumental' role in NFL's return to Houston.
Davis Mills, making his first start since January 2023, threw for 292 yards and accounted for three TDs as the Texans rallied from a 19-point deficit in the fourth to beat the Jaguars.
The Jaguars’ slow collapse on Sunday against the Texans was tough to watch. Jacksonville held a 29–10 heading into the fourth quarter and were facing a Houston side led by backup quarterback Davis Mills. It felt like cruise control could get the Jags to victory from there.
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.
