The Texans and Jets played almost 12 minutes without scoring, with both teams turning it over in the red zone.
Houston has scored the first points with an unlikely 14-play, 98-yard drive that used up 8:23 after Thomas Morstead’s 75-yard punt.
Joe Mixon did all the heavy lifting on the drive and scored on a 3-yard run to give the Texans a 7-0 lead with 3:21 remaining in the half.
Mixon has 85 yards on 15 carries.
C.J. Stroud, under constant pressure, has had a rough night but completed a 32-yard pass to Robert Woods along the sideline. Stroud rolled right to avoid pressure, and Woods dragged both feet in bounds.
Stroud is 6-of-13 for 84 yards.
The Texans list guard Kenyon Green (shoulder) as questionable to return. Jets defensive lineman Solomon Thomas (knee) also is questionable. Jets defensive lineman Will McDonald, who has a team-high eight sacks, left with a non-contact injury.
