Tue Oct 15 11:00:00 UTC 2024: ## Texans Soar to 5-1, While Jaguars Suffer in London Defeat

**Houston, TX** – The Houston Texans continued their hot start to the season with a dominant 41-21 victory over the New England Patriots, marking their first-ever win at Gillette Stadium. Quarterback C.J. Stroud led the way, throwing for 192 yards and three touchdowns, while running back Joe Mixon returned from injury to contribute 102 rushing yards and a touchdown.

The Texans’ defense also shined, limiting the Patriots to just 82 rushing yards and forcing four turnovers. The win sees the Texans sitting at 5-1, tied for the best start in franchise history.

Meanwhile, the Jacksonville Jaguars suffered a humiliating 35-16 loss to the Chicago Bears in London. The Jaguars were outplayed in all facets of the game, with the Bears outscoring them 21-3 in the second quarter. Despite a late touchdown from Trevor Lawrence, the Jaguars failed to mount a serious comeback.

“It felt very early in the game, maybe out of halftime, that we weren’t playing as one,” said Jaguars safety Andre Cisco, expressing his disappointment with the team’s effort.

The Jaguars will look to bounce back against the Patriots in London this Sunday, while the Texans will face a tough challenge against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.

**Elsewhere in the AFC South:**

* The Indianapolis Colts (3-3) remain in second place after a hard-fought 20-17 victory over the Tennessee Titans.
