Some Houston Texans players had some career milestones and achievements during an otherwise forgettable 31-3 beatdown at the hands of the Jacksonville Jaguars:

DB Jalen Pitre: He has quite a few notable items:

• Became the first player ever to record 125+ tackles and 5+ interceptions in their rookie season.
• Leads all rookies with 139 tackles (9th in NFL)
• Became the sixth player to record 135+ tackles and 5+ interceptions in a season since 1991 (when tracking started)
• His 139 tackles is second most in franchise history for a rookie (DeMeco Ryans 156, 2006)
• His five interceptions is second most in franchise history for a rookie (Dunta Robinson 2004)
