The New York Jets turned their luck around on Thursday night, ending a five-game losing streak with a 21-13 victory over the Houston Texans. The game was a tale of two halves, with the Jets struggling in the first half but coming back strong in the second. Houston's quarterback, C. J. Stroud, had a rough night, getting sacked eight times—the most he's ever experienced in a game.

Micheal Clemons and Jamien Sherwood led the Jets' defense with two sacks each, while Quinnen Williams contributed 1. 5 sacks. Despite the pressure, Stroud managed to complete 11 out of 30 passes for 191 yards. Joe Mixon was the standout player for the Texans, carrying the ball 24 times for 106 yards and a touchdown.

The Jets' offense also had its moments. Aaron Rodgers threw for 211 yards and three touchdowns, with Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams being his primary targets. Wilson caught nine passes for 90 yards, while Adams had seven receptions for 91 yards. Adams' 37-yard touchdown reception sealed the game for the Jets with just under three minutes left.

The Texans had their share of missed opportunities, including two missed field goals by Ka’imi Fairbairn. They also struggled in the red zone, converting only one out of four attempts. Despite these setbacks, the Texans fell to a 6-3 record, while the Jets improved to 3-6.

This win was particularly significant for the Jets, as it was interim coach Jeff Ulbrich's first victory. The team showed resilience and a strong comeback spirit, making the most of their opportunities in the second half.
