3. Rallying, valiantly. Credit Jaguars quarterback Mac Jones for some gutty play Sunday. Jones, entering the game after Lawrence left in the second quarter with a concussion, struggled along with the rest of the offense early. But he led fourth-quarter touchdown drives of 72 (12 plays) and 84 (10 plays) yards, with the drives capped by touchdown passes of 22 (wide receiver Parker Washington) and six (wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr.) yards. Jones followed the touchdown pass to Thomas with a two-point pass to Washington, trimming the Texans’ lead to 23-20 with 3:31 remaining. “We were there,” Jones said. “It was just a little too late by me. That’s on me.”
4. There he goes again. Rookie wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. on Sunday continued to be the Jaguars’ most-dynamic player, turning in a play early in the second half that helped them tie the game and nearly gave them the lead. The Jaguars trailed 6-3 when they took possession at their 20 following a Texans punt on the opening possession of the second half. Jones on third-and-10 from the Jaguars 31 threw a short, crossing route to Thomas. The rookie got a block from veteran tight end Evan Engram and turned the play into a 56-yard, catch-and-run play to the Texans 13. Little capped the drive four plays later with a 30-yard field goal to tie the game, 6-6, with 10:06 remaining in the third quarter.
