Texans beat Jaguars 24-21 for 1st road victory of season
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Houston Texans found a winning formula for the road: Keep the ball on the ground and avoid turnovers.
It worked to perfection against lowly Jacksonville.
The Texans ran for a season-high 181 yards in a 24-21 victory over the Jaguars on Sunday. It helped that they also scored on defense and set up another touchdown with special teams.
Nonetheless, it was a much-needed road victory — Houston’s first of the season — for a team that plays three of its next four away from home.
