Don’t look now, but the Houston Texans have scored a second-half offensive touchdown.
While not a notable achievement for many, Joe Mixon’s 7-yard touchdown run against the Jacksonville Jaguars was just the second touchdown in the second half since Week 6 for Houston’s offense.
ANOTHER WEEK, ANOTHER JOE MIXON TD ‼️

Houston’s drive spanned five plays and 70 yards. Mixon ran on back-to-back plays to finish the possession in the end zone. He gained 37 yards on the two carries. Before the drive, Mixon had nine carries for 22 yards.
Mixon’s score is his 11th touchdown of the season, marking a career-best since his Pro Bowl season in 2021 with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Houston opened the drive with three consecutive passes, picking up a pair of double-digit gains from Nico Collins and Dalton Schultz.
Both of the pass catchers were shaken up after their receptions.
With a win, the Texans will improve to 4-1 in the AFC South enter next week’s bye.
