HOUSTON (AP) — The Jacksonville Jaguars were up by three late in the third quarter Sunday with a chance to pad the lead after a 58-yard run by Tank Bigsby gave them a first down at the Houston 4.

After Bigsby’s run put them in scoring position, he had carries on the next two plays that got them to the 2.
Trevor Lawrence then threw an incomplete pass intended for Gabe Davis to bring up fourth down. Jacksonville went for it, but Lawrence was stuffed for no gain on the first play of the fourth quarter. “Coach puts it in our hands, so we got to figure it out and make the play,” Lawrence said.
"We had the opportunity. I felt like we had some good looks down there to do more with it and we weren’t able to capitalize.” Coach Doug Pederson declined to discuss the play.
“It’s a moot point," he said. "It doesn’t matter now, so I’m not going to talk about it.” Lawrence threw for 169 yards and two touchdowns as his streak of consecutive starts without a win stretched to nine games.
The Jaguars fell to 0-4 for the first time since opening the 2021 season with five straight losses. Tennessee is the NFL's only other winless team, bringing an 0-3 record into a Monday night matchup against Miami. “No one likes to work all week to lose," running back Travis Etienne said.
