In a crucial Week 15 matchup, the Houston Texans topped the Jacksonville Jaguars with a final score of 28-19, solidifying their playoff positioning as the season nears its end. The Texans' victory was essential, as both teams are vying for a chance at postseason glory, making this win even more significant. C.J. Stroud was the star of the show for Houston, throwing for 214 yards and three touchdowns, showcasing his ability to perform under pressure. Dalton Schultz was his primary target, racking up 107 receiving yards, while the ground game was managed effectively, providing balance to the Texans' offensive attack. Meanwhile, Bhayshul Tuten did his best for Jacksonville with 75 rushing yards, but it wasn’t enough to keep pace with Houston's offensive firepower. Defensively, the Texans made crucial plays that helped seal the victory, led by E.J. Speed, who recorded two sacks and consistently pressured the Jaguars' quarterback. Reed Blankenship’s three tackles contributed to a solid team effort on that side of the ball. The turning point came in the second half when Stroud connected with Schultz for a pivotal touchdown, extending the lead and putting Houston in a commanding position, ultimately allowing them to hold off a late Jaguars surge.
