The Houston Texans secured a 23-20 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday at EverBank Stadium to head into the bye week at 8-5.
Joe Mixon kept up his Pro Bowl-esque season after rushing for 101 yards and a touchdown. He joined Tiki Barber of the New York Giants (2004) and Derrick Henry of Tennessee (2020) as the third running back in NFL history with at least 100 yards rushing and a rushing touchdown in six road games in the same season.
“Joe’s an old school running back,” Texans coach Ryans said. “He’s that guy that wants it 30 times, and he keeps getting better the more touches that he gets. So really proud of him to know he’s hurting and still push through. To still turn out yards, even when they’re loading the box, and still being able to find a way to get yards.”
Nico Collins returned to his All-Pro status after catching eight passes for 119 yards, while Dalton Schultz hauled him his first touchdown reception on the season on a 22-yard pass from C.J. Stroud.
Stroud, who didn’t have a turnover for the first time in three games, completed 22 of 34 passes for 242 yards and a score. Schultz, who finished with five catches for 61 yards, iced the victory over Jacksonville, which has dropped five straight games and 15 of its last 18.
