Official Texans vs. Jaguars Game Thread, 1/1/2023

[Keith]

Next drive is a dud. Texans punt.

Jaguars keep Lawrence in the game.

INTERCEPTION!

Errant short pass from Lawrence is picked off by a diving Desmond King. Texans take over at the JAX 41. Mills finds O.J. Howard for a 26-yd completion to the 15. Drive stalls. Lovie tells Ka'imi Fairbairn to get off the fie;d, they're going for it. Pass lofted to Burkhead in the endzone is incomplete. Really miss Nico Collins for a play like that.

Jaguars get the ball back at their 11. Three rushes from Etienne can't get a first down. King returns the punt to the HOU 42.

Mills escapes the pocket for a third down completion to Jordan Akins to the JAX 46. Drive stalls at the 44, and Lovie elects to punt this time at the two minute warning.

Pooch punt by Johnston fair caught at the JAX 9. Lawrence fakes a reverse on third down and finds an open Etienne who runs it 30 yards. Ogbo Okoronkwo sacks Lawrence for a loss of 8. Jags can't make up for it and let time expire.

0-21 Jaguars
Halftime
