Texans Lose to Jaguars After Ammendola's 58-Yard Field Goal Hits Crossbar
The missed field goal attempt ends Houston's three-game winning streak and prevents them from taking the lead in the AFC South.
- Matt Ammendola's 58-yard field goal attempt hit the crossbar, causing the Houston Texans to lose 24-21 to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
- The loss ended the Texans' three-game winning streak and prevented them from moving into first place in the AFC South.
- Ammendola, who was signed by the Texans earlier this month after Ka’imi Fairbairn suffered a quadriceps injury, has a career long of 49 yards in the NFL.
- The Texans were facing fourth-and-12 when coach DeMeco Ryans sent out the field goal unit instead of giving the offense one more shot.
- Ammendola's longest field goal this season is 45 yards. He lifted Houston to a 30-27 win over Cincinnati with a 38-yarder as time expired in his debut with the team on Nov. 12.
