The Houston Texans just needed to score.
The Jacksonville Jaguars had scored 10 unanswered points to start the second half. The Texans led 17-0 at the break, but the defending AFC South champions were roaring back and cut Houston’s lead to 17-10 with 4:35 to go in the third quarter.
Houston found an unlikely hero.
While it appeared fullback Andrew Beck was going to signal a fair catch on the ensuing Brandon McManus kickoff, he muffed it. Instead of disaster taking place at the Texans’ 15-yard line, Beck scooped up the loose ball, found a lane, and returned the improbable kickoff 85 yards for a touchdown to give the Texans a 24-10 lead.
