The Jaguars improved to 2-1 on the season with a 17-10 victory over the reigning AFC South champion Houston Texans.

Hines-Allen's 0.5-sack, three-quarterback hit stat line does not even come close to telling the story. There were several drives where he alone got the Jaguars off the field, and the fact he was the one to tip CJ Stroud's final pass into the hands of Antonio Johnson was a poetic ending to his elite showing.

Trevor Lawrence found Brian Thomas Jr. for a 46-yard gain, Travis Etienne scored on the next play and the Jacksonville Jaguars held on to beat the Houston Texans 17-10 Sunday.
