DeMeco Ryans gets 1st win as Texans rookies torch Jaguars

As the Houston Texans continue their climb out of the NFL cellar, Sunday afternoon should serve as a reminder of what this team can eventually be.

After back-to-back losses to start the season, the Texans went on the road and rolled over the Jacksonville Jaguars 37-17. The win marked the first of DeMeco Ryans' head coaching career, as Houston dominated the reigning AFC South champions in all three phases of the game.

Perhaps most promising from the Texans' victory was the impact of the team's rookies. No. 2 overall pick C.J. Stroud continued a historic start to his NFL career, throwing for 280 yards and two touchdowns on 66.
