The Houston Texans earn their second win of the season by defeating the Jacksonville Jaguars 31-20 in their AFC South showdown at EverBank Field.

The Houston Texans scored three touchdowns in the fourth quarter to secure a 31-20 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars and earn their second win of the campaign.

Neither side were able to threaten the endzone on their first possessions of the game as both offenses were knocked out of rhythm by solid defensive play.

The Texans managed to click into gear on their second drive as Brian Hoyer moved down the field with several short passes before he found Arian Foster, who collected the ball and ran in for the 14-yard touchdown.

Jacksonville levelled the scores in the second quarter when Blake Bortles moved his side into the redzone following a series of accurate throws. The quarterback finished the drive with another pinpoint pass to find Allen Robinson for the two-yard score.

Houston pulled back ahead when Hoyer and Foster engineered a solid drive, which culminated in three points for Bill O'Brien's men as Nick Novak fired his 41-yard field goal through the posts.

The Jaguars had the opportunity to get a score just before the break, but Bortles saw his pass intercepted by Andre Hal on the goalline.

Neither side was able to find a score in the third quarter until 10 seconds from the end when Bortles notched his second strike of the game as he found Julius Thomas for a 29-yard touchdown to hand his side the lead.

The Texans rallied at the start of the fourth when Hoyer found DeAndre Hopkins for a big gain down the sideline and then went back to his wideout in the endzone to complete a nine-yard touchdown.

Hoyer and Hopkins connected again for their second score of the game when the quarterback looped the ball over the Jacksonville defense for the wideout to make the grab for a 26-yard touchdown.

Houston secured their win as Hal picked Bortles off for the second time in the match and on this occasion he was able to run the ball back for a 31-yard touchdown.

The Jaguars added a consolation score when Bortles threw his third touchdown of the game to find Allen Hurns in the endzone, but it was too little too late for the hosts, who drop to 1-5 in their season.
