The Jaguars left London on Sunday with more than just another game behind them. They also left with another referee decision drawing heat.
Late in the Week 6 matchup against the Houston Texans, running back Bhayshul Tuten appeared to get into the end zone for what looked like a touchdown. Instead, the score came off the board because officials flagged Jacksonville for holding. On X, NFL insider Jordan Schultz pushed back hard on the call.
"Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten has had at least 3 TDs taken away from him this season due to penalty," he posted. "This one was NOT a penalty."
The video clip in question showed Brenton Strange making contact with a defender, but no jersey grab. Strange and the defender simply collided as Tuten crossed the goal line untouched.
Even so, the penalty did not seem to completely knock Jacksonville off course in the game. The Jaguars still put up 14 points in the second quarter and kept the matchup close heading into halftime.
The bigger issue was on the other side of the ball, where Jacksonville’s defense gave up a late touchdown before the break. That swung the score from a 14-10 Jaguars lead to a 17-14 Houston advantage.
Sunday’s game also wrapped up a two-week stretch overseas for Jacksonville. The Jaguars played the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, Oct. 11, then turned around to face the Texans on Sunday, Oct.
- They beat the Eagles 19-17 on a wild finish and finished the London trip at .500, a result that has led many to call the city the team’s second home.
Now the Jaguars head into their bye week after Week 6 before returning home to face the Indianapolis Colts in Week 8. After that matchup, Jacksonville will head back on the road for three straight weeks.
The timing matters, too. Jacksonville entered Sunday at 4-1 and sitting alone atop the AFC South, while Indianapolis was the nearest challenger at 2-3.
The Colts have a bye in Week 7, but they can apply pressure with wins against Tennessee and Minnesota before Jacksonville comes back from its own break. That could set up a big showdown once the Jaguars return.

Texans Move Raises Early Questions About Houstons Linebacker Plans
The Texans have already made an early roster decision on rookie linebacker Aiden Fisher, releasing the seventh-round pick from the 2026 NFL Draft after a brief stint in Houston. Fisher arrived with a strong college resume after playing a key role on Indianas national championship team, but his first taste of the NFL was limited to three games and one solo tackle.
For a defense that has been sorting through its linebacker depth, the move is a reminder that draft status alone does not buy much time. Fisher is now subject to waivers, and his exit leaves Houston with another question to answer as it continues shaping the middle of its defense heading into the next stretch of roster moves.

Texans Head To London With A Roster Problem They Cant Ignore
The Texans are heading to London for their matchup with the Jaguars at Wembley Stadium carrying more than just the usual travel questions. Houston is dealing with a roster situation that could shape both sides of the ball, with running back David Montgomery ruled out and safety Jalen Pitre among the key players listed questionable.
Woody Marks is expected to shoulder a bigger load in the backfield with Montgomery unavailable, while the secondary could feel the strain if Pitre cannot go. There is some relief for Houston, though, with Azeez Al-Shaair and Trent Brown both back to full participation, giving the Texans a little help as they try to sort through a week that has put their depth to the test.

Texans Get A Key Defensive Boost Ahead Of Jaguars Game
The Texans made a few roster moves ahead of their Week 6 trip to face the Jaguars, and the biggest one was getting Henry TooToo back on the active roster. The starting weak-side linebacker had missed the past four weeks with a shoulder injury, so his return gives Houston a needed boost on defense as it prepares for a divisional game with plenty on the line.
Houston also elevated Bryce Hall and Jawhar Jordan from the practice squad for the matchup, while moving on from seventh-round rookie Fisher and undrafted defensive back Collin Wright from the 53-man roster. The shuffle adds some short-term flexibility for the Texans, but the attention is on how quickly TooToo can settle back in after his time away. [Read more 🡒]
