The Texans go into halftime leading the Jaguars 6-3, but left points on the board just before halftime. Houston settled for a field goal on second-and-goal and two seconds left in the half.

Deshaun Watson is struggling against man coverage: 7-12 for 19 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT. No such problems against zone where he's 10-14 for 153 yards and a touchdown. ESPN's coverage classification is powered by NFL Next Gen Stats.
Sarah Barshop ESPN Staff Writer
The Texans enter halftime leading the Saints 14-3, taking advantage of their lone trip to the red zone, which is an area they struggled in last season. But while Deshaun Watson has been impressive (12-of-17 for 129 yards and a touchdown; three carries for 22 yards and a touchdown), he has taken several hard hits and has spent two lengthy stints in the blue medical tent when the defense was on the field.
