Texans-Jaguars live blog: 26-3 Texans — FINAL

0:01 — OLB Brennan Scarlett strip-sacks Minshew, and LB Dylan Cole scoops it up. Game over. The Texans sweep the Jaguars for the second straight year. Coverage all day at Texans Wire.

4:22 — Watson throws a 1-yard touchdown to Hopkins. Extra point is good. Texans, 26-3

4:43 — S Justin Reid picks off Minshew and takes it all the way to the Jacksonville 3-yard line.

4:53 — Hyde rushes for 58 yards for a seeming touchdown. However, Jacksonville defensive back Jarrod Wilson strips Hyde at the 2-yard line, the Jaguars recover in the end zone, and it’s a touchback.

6:37 — S Jahleel Addae intercepts Minshew on third-and-8 from the Houston 49-yard line.

10:58 — Jacksonville challenges the ruling on the field of an incomplete pass. The ruling on the field stands as called. First down, Houston.

10:58 — The Texans defense comes up big with CB Gareon Conley stripping a catch from the Jaguars’ Conley for an incomplete pass on fourth-and-10 from the Houston 20-yard line.

12:04 — On third-and-15 from the Houston 40-yard line, Minshew connects with WR Chris Conley for a 20-yard gain.

fourth quarter

5:44 — The Jaguars finally sack Watson, as they drop him for a 7-yard loss on third-and-8 from the Jacksonville 17-yard line.

Here is Deshaun Watson meeting with a terminally ill Texans fan in London pregame at Wembley Stadium.

J.J. Watt tweets about coffee in the middle of the Texans game. How dare he.

9:03 — A botched field goal attempt by the Jaguars ends up with a turnover on downs at the 50-yard line. Not a bad way to start the second half for the Texans.

HALFTIME

0:09 — Fairbairn attempts a 58-yard field goal that is no good, short and to the right.

Here is another instance of Watson making “Sacksonville” look silly as he evades their pass rush.

1:48 — Jaguars K Josh Lambo nails a 30-yard field goal to chip into the Texans’ lead. Texans, 9-3

By the way, here is this really cool Deshaun Watson magic from early.

5:58 — Watson hits TE Darren Fells for a 1-yard touchdown. The extra point is blocked. Texans, 9-0

9:22 — Facing a fourth-and-2 from the Jacksonville 39, the Texans run a quick out to TE Jordan Akins for 12 yards.

15:00 — The Texans stop the Jaguars on third-and-15 from their own 36.

second quarter

2:43 — Houston fails to convert on a third-and-3 from their own 26 and have to punt.

4:21 — WR Kenny Stills is shaken up after making an 11-yard catch. Stills went out on the first drive with a groin injury, was questionable to return, and obviously returned.

9:26 — Now, an illegal shift on the Texans’ offense on third-and-14 from the Jaguars’ 45.

10:45 — LT Chris Clark, who is filling in for Laremy Tunsil, gets called for an illegal blindside block. Now, Houston will face a first-and-25 from their own 48.

11:19 — QB Deshaun Watson scrambles for five yards on third-and-4 from the Jacksonville 42-yard line.

15:00 — The Texans get the ball first.
