**HOUSTON, Tex.** –– Senior writer John Oehser examines five key plays from the Jaguars' 36-29 loss to the Houston Texans in a [2025 Week 10 game at NRG Stadium in Houston, Tex., Sunday.](https://www.jaguars.com/game-day/2025/reg-week10/jaguars-at-texans/)
**1\. Slip, sliding away.** The Jaguars on Sunday let a 19-point fourth-quarter lead slip away in historic, frustrating fashion – and it wasn't so much one play in that final quarter, but an avalanche. "We were trying to hold on to a lead and make them earn it, and we let up too many explosive plays," [Head Coach Liam Coen](https://www.jaguars.com/team/coaches-roster/liam-coen) said of a quarter in which the Jaguars allowed two touchdown passes by Texans quarterback Davis Mills before his 14-yard, game-winning scramble with :31 remaining. But perhaps no play from Sunday will resonate to the degree of a 23-yard pass interference penalty on second-year cornerback Jarrian Jones covering former Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk, a play that turned first-and-10 at the Jaguars 25-yard-line into first-and-goal at the 2-yard line. Coen said he didn't see the interference, adding, "They said that he might have had his wrist or something, but, yeah … we're not going to get any of those." Mills' scramble capped a 14-play, 93-yard drive, with the Texans driving for touchdowns on drives of 65 and 51 yards on their two previous fourth-quarter possessions.
