During the review, there was some confusion about whether the holding call should have stood at all. Strange lined up in the fullback spot to lead-block for Tuten, delivered a hard block on a Texans defender, and then appeared to slip. As he went to the ground, he extended an arm, and while replay angles were not definitive, it was ruled that he held, negating the score. The sequence sparked discussion among fans and commentators about the call’s legitimacy.
After the nullified touchdown, Jacksonville attempted a pass into the end zone but Trevor Lawrence did not connect with Jakobi Meyers, resulting in an interception by Houston. Instead of tying the game at 7-7, the Jaguars left the drive without points. The holding penalty is a blemish on the game and could be a talking point if the Jaguars lose narrowly.
The Jaguars entered the game with a 4-1 record and atop the AFC South, so the setback against a 1-4 Texans squad was certainly disappointing. However, there was still a good amount of football left to respond from the setback. For fantasy players, Tuten redeemed the moment later in the second quarter with a 27-yard receiving touchdown, easing the sting of the earlier call to some degree.
