Jaylin Noel smashed against the Jaguars: every target caught, 107 yards, a touchdown and +9.3 expected points added (EPA) on just 4 targets. EPA is what a play was worth given down, distance and field position.
The play that turned the half came with Houston down 14-10 and 48 seconds left. First and 10 at the Houston 37, C.J. Stroud went deep over the middle and Noel caught it for 50 yards to the Jacksonville 13: +3.3 EPA and +11.2 points of win probability. Foster Moreau caught a 1-yard touchdown at 0:12, and Houston went to halftime up 17-14.
He did it twice more. Tied 7-7 in the second quarter, his 34-yard catch over the middle from the Houston 31 to the Jacksonville 35 was worth +2.1 EPA and +10.1 points of win probability. Up 17-14 in the third, on third and 10 at the Jacksonville 13, he caught Stroud's short pass to the right for the touchdown that made it 24-14, +3.3 EPA. His other catch, a 10-yarder, came earlier on that drive.
It was the biggest game of his season. Through Week 5 he had 17 targets, 13 catches, 227 yards, 1 touchdown and +10.7 EPA, with 85 yards in Week 4 his previous high.
