Football is finally back!
Week 1 of the NFL regular season continues today, and the Jacksonville Jaguars will open their 2021 campaign against the Houston Texans. The Jaguars were 0-2 against the Texans last year and are looking to start righting the wrongs of the previous regime as soon as possible.
Things certainly look brighter than they did around this time last season. New head coach Urban Meyer has done plenty to shake up the organization. He started his NFL career off making a few big-money free-agent additions and five picks in the top-65. The most notable of the draft selections, of course, was Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence. But with those moves all in the rear-view, the Jags need to win this opening matchup against a less talented Texans team to change thoughts from the outside.
Here are four keys to a much-needed Jaguars victory.
