The Houston Texans struck first by having veteran Mark Ingram score the first touchdown of the 2021 season.
The second offensive drive of the Houston Texans saw a huge 40-yard reception by Brandin Cooks off a pass by quarterback Tyrod Taylor. A few plays later the Houston Texans were celebrating their first touchdown of the 2021 season against the Jacksonville Jaguars at NRG Stadium.
The rushing touchdown was a 1-yard run by running back Mark Ingram II. This was also his first touchdown with the Texans as he joined the team this offseason as a free agent from the Baltimore Ravens for a one-year contract for $2.
