Safety Kareem Jackson had six tackles for Houston.
49ers 30, Lions 27
Da’Shawn Hand had a strong outing for Detroit finishing with five tackles and one for loss. Hand is certainly exceeding expectations in Detroit.

Jaguars 31, Patriots 20
Cam Robinson tore his ACL against New England and will be out for the rest of the season.

Rookie Ronnie Harrison was fantastic collecting 7 tackles and he played a role in shutting down Patriots star tight end Rob Gronkowski. Jacksonville found themselves a good player in Harrison. They should be excited about his potential.
