Keeper Lee Camp produced a heroic display to earn 10-man QPR a point against Championship leaders Watford.
Watford took the lead after 49 minutes when Lee Williamson picked out Adam Johnson to rise high and head home.
QPR were level within 10 minutes when Stefan Moore turned in a rebound after Dexter Blackstock struck the post.
Mikele Leigertwood was sent off with nine minutes left for a second yellow card, but Camp denied Marlon King and Nathan Ellington as QPR held on.
"People not connected with QPR cannot understand how the death of Ray Jones affected my players. They've had to overcome that and focus on their job.
"They dealt with a very strong Watford side and you couldn't see much difference between the teams. I think we should have won the game."
"I'm also very disappointed with the chances we missed in the first half and I think QPR will feel the same about the chances they missed.
"Loftus Road is always a difficult place to come and I'm sure QPR will turn the corner and that John Gregory will get them organised."
