JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Josh Scobee drilled the ball down the middle, gave his holder a high-five and then jumped into the arms of left tackle Khalif Barnes.
Scobee, who kicked a 51-yard field goal with four seconds remaining to beat Indianapolis last week, hit a 37-yarder in overtime to give the Jaguars a 30-27 victory against the winless Houston Texans on Sunday.
“Every kicker lives for this moment,” said Scobee, who made two others from 46 and 40 yards. “Either you make a living doing it or you don’t.”
David Garrard put Jacksonville (2-2) in position for the winner against the Colts and did the same against the Texans. He completed a 24-yard pass to Matt Jones on third down to get to the Houston 41, then found Greg Jones in the flat for 22 more yards. Scobee put it through two plays later.
Houston (0-3), getting its best game of the season from quarterback Matt Schaub, looked like it might get its first win after scoring on its final five possessions. Schaub threw for 307 yards and three touchdowns, two of them to Kevin Walter. Schaub drove the Texans 53 yards in the final minute, setting up Kris Brown’s 47-yard field goal with a second to play that sent the game into overtime.
