3 Numbers to Know From the Jaguars’ Loss to the Texans

The Jacksonville Jaguars’ 4-2 start took a hit in Week 6 after a 24-21 loss to the Houston Texans, with key decisions and performances shaping the outcome. The Jaguars’ offensive line, already shorthanded after placing left tackle Anton Harrison on injured reserve, faced a tough matchup against Houston’s pass rush.

Despite the challenge, rookie left guard Emmanuel Pregnon was the only lineman to allow a quarterback hit, as Trevor Lawrence stayed clean on 32 of 44 dropbacks (72.7%). While Lawrence thrived under pressure—completing 8 of 17 passes for 126 yards and two touchdowns against blitzes—his counterpart C.J.

Stroud also showed resilience, finishing 9 of 13 against Houston’s rush attempts. The Jaguars’ defense, however, struggled to close out the game, culminating in head coach Liam Coen’s decision to attempt a 60-yard field goal by Cam Little instead of going for it on 4th-and-4 with two minutes left—a call that cost them a potential 5.7% win probability, per ESPN Analytics.

Little’s successful kick, his third career 60-plus-yard field goal, highlighted his clutch performances, but the missed opportunity underscored the Jaguars’ defensive limitations down the stretch.
