Texans vs Jaguars Player Stats Breakdown: Top Performers, Key Numbers & Highlights from Today’s Clash

The Houston Texans rode a clinical C.J. Stroud performance to a 24-14 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium in Week 6, tightening an AFC South race that suddenly looks wide-open. Below is a breakdown of the key player stats that shaped Sunday’s trans-Atlantic showdown. Quarterbacks • C.J. Stroud (HOU) — 16-of-22, 221 yds, 3 TD, 0 INT. Stroud averaged a robust 10.0 yards per attempt and was not sacked all afternoon, posting his sixth straight game without a turnover. • Trevor Lawrence (JAX) — 14-of-28, 206 yds, 2 TD, 1 INT. Lawrence’s 7.4 YPA kept Jacksonville afloat early, but a third-quarter interception stalled momentum. Ground game • Woody Marks (HOU) — 9 car, 29 yds. Houston’s rookie returned from a hamstring tweak; while bottled up between the tackles, he sealed clock-killing drives with bruising inside runs. • Chris Rodriguez Jr. (JAX) — 10 car, 52 yds. Rodriguez flashed burst on outside zone concepts, averaging 5.2 yards a carry and breaking three tackles. Receiving leaders • Jaylin Noel (HOU) — 4 rec, 107 yds, 1 TD. The speedster torched man coverage on a 48-yard go-route, giving Stroud his first score and Houston a 7-0 lead. • Parker Washington (JAX) — 3 rec, 54 yds. Lawrence’s most reliable chain-mover found soft spots in zone but was quiet in the red zone. Defense & key situational stats • Reed Blankenship (HOU) paced Houston with five total tackles, while rookie CB Tariq Stevenson notched the game-clinching pick. • Jacksonville’s Antonio Johnson posted a game-high six tackles but the Jags failed to record a sack for the second straight week. • Houston dominated third downs (2-for-7 vs. JAX’s 5-for-9) yet turned three of four red-zone trips into touchdowns, the decisive efficiency difference. What it means The win lifts Houston to 2-4 overall (1-1 division), just two games behind Jacksonville (4-2) in the AFC South. With Stroud operating an interception-free offense and a young secondary forcing timely turnovers, the Texans have flipped preseason expectations. Conversely, Jacksonville’s pass rush drought and minus-7 turnover margin over the last three games threaten to derail a once-promising campaign. Fantasy & betting nuggets • Stroud’s 3-TD outing vaulted him into the top 10 among fantasy QBs for Week 6. • Jaylin Noel is now averaging 18.6 yards per catch, second in the NFL among receivers with 20+ grabs. • The Texans have covered the spread in four of their last five meetings with Jacksonville, including both London matchups. Up next, Houston hosts division-rival Indianapolis, while Jacksonville travels to New Orleans for a pivotal Monday-night clash that may determine early playoff seeding.
