It was an up-and-down day at best for the Jacksonville Jaguars defense going up against rookie phenom C.J. Stroud.
The Houston Texans quarterback gave the Jaguars fits when able to escape the pocket, torching the defense for more than 300 passing yards and two touchdowns. Additionally, Stroud displayed just how dangerous he can be as a scrambler, leading Houston in rushing (47 yards) and scoring a walk-in touchdown during the third quarter.
However, as the Texans drove the field with time dwindling, Jacksonville was finally able to contain the young gunslingers and get him on the ground.
