Lawrence finished 18-of-33 with 169 passing yards and two touchdown passes. Tank Bigsby ran for 90 yards on seven carries.

Texans wide receiver Collins broke out with 12 catches for 151 yards. Stefon Diggs had five catches for 69 yards and had a rushing touchdown.

Houston improved to 3-1 on the year.

Jacksonville has now lost nine out of their last 10 games dating back to Dec. 4, 2023. The Jaguars’ last win came against the Carolina Panthers on New Year’s Eve.
