Jaguars fans toasting the curse-breaking win over Houston while still relitigating Nielsen's tenure and one mystery.

The emotional rollercoaster

Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.

What happened

A C.Stroud-to-N.Collins 50-yard touchdown briefly threatened to make this another miserable Sunday, but T.Campbell punching the ball loose on the ensuing drive and An.Johnson's end-zone interception finally exorcised whatever curse had owned this building. T.Lawrence's 46-yard strike to B.Thomas iced it, though the offense looked nervous getting there. The streak is broken and the misery's halved, but 17 points against Houston isn't the kind of number that settles anyone down for long.

  • I'm so so glad BTJ managed to finish the game on a high, hopefully that can be his turning point in the season.

    u/LoPlast100hope

  • More specifically that he read zero blitz, checked out of the running play, then lined up Etienne to pick up the man coming off the edge.

    u/SadJagsFan50pride

  • How are we possibly the only one to get a flag when the Texans player runs in from out of nowhere to start that shit

    u/jnw72530rage

  • Last year we got blown out ugly games, this year we win them. Love to see it

    u/Better_Crew_368920joy

  • I don’t think I hate any player in the league more than Al-Shari

    u/HigherPow3r24rage

  • Trev not giving up on BTJ. Love to see it.

    u/DUUUUUVAAAAAL46joy

    u/ChildrenMcnuggets26joy

  • It’s absolute malpractice what Nielsen did last year.

    u/Paralysisbylullaby17rage

  • WHO ARE THESE JAGS LIAM IS A FUCKING GOD

    u/Mister_Dewitt13joy

  • Where was the illegal shift. Refs just erase trevors best pass today. The Texans are only in this because of the fucking refs

    u/Mister_Dewitt13rage

  • 9 fucking turnovers after 3 games... Insane change

    u/slayerje113rage

  • Josh Hines-Allan Player of the Week

    u/CantaloupeLow16118joy

  • Rips off his Texans jersey to reveal a teal throwback, spears Al Shaair and cashes in his MITB for the Jags to reach the Super Bowl

    u/beesarie17joy

  • This was the first time I’ve ever shouted in relief at the game ending! It’s the final plays of the game that killed us last year and it looked like it was going that way again. I’m so happy!
