Jacobs took control of a close game in the second half, running roughshod over one of the worst run defenses in the league during a 38-20 win at Allegiant Stadium.
There was no sequence more emblematic of the Texans’ substandard run defense than what unfolded in the fourth quarter. “Defensively, we just didn’t play well enough,” Texans coach Lovie Smith said. “In the first half, I thought we were in pretty good shape. In the second half, we didn’t do what we needed to. They got the run going.
At one point in the fourth quarter, the Texans substituted for rookie safety Jalen Pitre and replaced him with Eric Murray.Late in the game, Smith huddled with the defense to try to stop the bleeding. It didn’t work.
