The Houston Texans are celebrating after a 24-20 win against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 4 at NRG Stadium.

The game came down to the final seconds where C.J. Stroud threw a one-yard touchdown to running back Dare Ogunbowale to end a nine-play, 69-yard drive to take the lead.

The Texans had no problem racking up yards on offense, but points were hard to come by. Luckily, they escape against the Jags with just enough on the scoreboard.
