Jacksonville, Fl — The Jaguars remained unbeaten at home with a 17-10 win over the division rival Texans.

Trevor Lawrence complete 20 of 40 passes for 222 yards with an interception for Jacksonville, while Travis Etienne and Bhayshul Tuten each rushed for a touchdown in the victory.

The Jaguars are now 2-and-1 for the first time since 2022. The Texans drop to 0-3 on the year.

Head Coach Liam Coen called the victory huge.

“Very proud of this group,” Coen said. “They played their tails off. They should take so much confidence from this, especially defensively.”

Jacksonville’s defense allowed 271 total yards, had two sacks and forced three turnovers. That’s nine in three games.
