The Jacksonville Jaguars topped the Houston Texans 21-14 in a tightly contested Week 15 matchup that had significant playoff implications. With this win, the Jaguars solidified their position in the postseason race, while the Texans faced a tough setback in their quest for a wildcard spot. Trevor Lawrence led the Jaguars' offense with a solid performance, throwing for 206 yards, while Brian Thomas Jr. emerged as a key target, racking up 105 receiving yards and a touchdown. Bhayshul Tuten contributed significantly on the ground, adding 61 rushing yards to help maintain offensive balance and keep the Texans' defense on their heels. Defensively, the Jaguars held strong, limiting the Texans' scoring opportunities despite a spirited effort from Houston's Kamari Lassiter, who recorded ten total tackles. The game turned decisively in the Jaguars' favor late in the fourth quarter when their defense forced a crucial turnover, allowing the offense to run down the clock and secure the win. Azeez Al-Shaair's two sacks highlighted the Texans' defensive effort, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Jaguars' resilience.
