JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Deshaun Watson might never lose to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

  • The Jacksonville Jaguars lost their seventh straight game and sixth straight to the Houston Texans
  • Rookie quarterback Jake Luton made his first start, completing 26 of 38 passes for 304 yards
  • The Jaguars play next week vs. the Packers

Watson had touchdowns passes of 57 and 77 yards, the second one appearing to happen after the play clock expired, and the Houston Texans beat the Jaguars 27-25 on Sunday for their sixth straight win in the series.

All of them, including the team’s only two wins this season, came with Watson at the helm. He has topped Jacksonville at home, on the road, in London with a swollen eye, in tight games, blowouts and even once while recovering from a broken rib and a bruised lung.

His latest victory could be pinned on two huge passing plays and several scrambles down the stretch.

“He’s a magician,” Texans interim coach Romeo Crennel said. “I don’t know how he got out of some of it, some of those situations he was in. But he has a feel for finding the opening and being able to get through.”

Jacksonville (1-7) lost its seventh straight and avoided making NFL history. The Jaguars would have become the first to allow at least 30 points in seven consecutive games in a single season. Instead, they will share the record with the 1968 Denver Broncos and the 1984 Minnesota Vikings.

Jacksonville had a chance to tie it late, but rookie Jake Luton’s 2-point conversion pass to DJ Chark landed at the receiver’s feet in the end zone.

“It was just a bad ball,” Luton said. “Really no other excuse for it.”

Luton completed 26 of 38 passes for 304 yards, including a 73-yard TD pass to Chark on the game’s opening possession. He also ran for the score in his NFL debut, but threw an interception and had a fumble that a teammate recovered. With Gardner Minshew (thumb) still unable to throw, coach Doug Marrone said Luton would start next week at Green Bay.

Watson played a much cleaner game — no surprise given his success against Jacksonville.

He threw for 281 yards and two scores a month after his 301-yard, two-touchdown passing performance in Houston. He also ran for 50 yards Sunday.

“I was just making plays and the holes opened up,” he said. “So I just kind of took it and ran with it.”

He found Brandin Cooks on a crossing pattern on Houston’s first series. Cooks turned it up the sideline and outran defenders for 57 yards. Watson’s deep pass to Will Fuller was considerably tougher. Fuller stopped, cut inside CJ Henderson and then ran untouched the rest of the way to put the Texans (2-6) up 27-16 in third quarter.

Jaguars players screamed at officials as Watson snapped the ball, insisting the play clock was at zero, and Marrone was livid afterward. Replays showed it was a blown call.

“They didn’t see it. There’s only one person responsible for it. The back judge is responsible for the play clock,” Marrone said. “The other officials don’t look at it. It’s only one person.

“I’m not going to say anything stupid. I think you guys realize it.”
