5 momentous plays in Week 6: 2 killer Jags penalties proved costly in loss to Texans

The Jacksonville Jaguars’ Week 6 loss to the Houston Texans in London hinged on two costly penalties that swung momentum decisively in Houston’s favor. A questionable holding call on Jacksonville’s Brenton Strange erased a touchdown by Bhayshul Tuten early in the game, while a later 12-man penalty—stemming from Travis Hunter’s failure to exit the field in time—sparked a Texans drive that sealed the 34-31 victory.

The Jaguars’ struggles with turnovers and self-inflicted mistakes compounded their woes, despite Hunter’s standout performance that included a touchdown catch and interception in the same game. The Texans capitalized on these errors, turning what could have been a tightly contested matchup into a decisive win.

The Jaguars’ offensive line also faced scrutiny after the Strange penalty, with defenders arguing the call was unjustified. Meanwhile, Trevor Lawrence’s end-zone interception to Calen Bullock further derailed Jacksonville’s chances, though Tuten managed to tie the game midway through the second quarter.

The loss underscored the Jaguars’ vulnerability to avoidable mistakes, as even a single penalty or turnover shifted the game’s trajectory in Houston’s favor.
