The Jaguars punched the Texans in the mouth all day long before they let them get a garbage TD at the end of the game.  David Garrard was his usual efficient self as he completed 22 of 34 passes for 221 yards with 2 TD passes and 0 INTs.  He also carried the ball 5 times for 26 yards (5.2 ypc).  Fred Taylor looked great until his groin acted up as he carried the ball 6 times for 90 yards (15.0 ypc).  Maurice Drew then took over as he carried the ball 12 times for 125 yards (10.4 ypc) with 2 TDs and he also caught 4 passes for 59 yards (14.8 avg).  Dennis Northcutt had another solid game with 4 catches for 46 yards (11.5 avg).  It will be interesting to see if Reggie Williams will get back in the dog house as he lost two fumbles…but he also caught 5 passes for 38 yards (7.6 avg) with a TD.  The Jags finished with 244 yards rushing on 26 carries (9.4 ypc) and they also completed 22 of 34 passes for 213 yards.

The secondary led the way for the Jags defense as the Texans kept them really busy.  Safety Sammy Knight led the way for the Jags with 12 tackles.  CBs Rashean Mathis (8 tackles) and Brian Williams (7 tackles, INT) also had solid games for the Jags.  The Texans finished up with 61 yards rushing on 24 carries (2.5 ypc) and they completed 30 of 43 passes for 329 yards.
