The Jacksonville Jaguars will get a crack at yet another winless team in the Houston Texans Week 5, and a win would put them at a game under .500. It would also give the Jags their second win in the AFC South, which could be huge for their momentum heading forward.
The Texans, on the other hand, will be just a few days removed from the firing of their coach Bill O’Brien. Many feel that the decision is a positive one that will allow the team to play more freely, and if that’s the case, fans could be in for a good old shootout when looking at both team’s defenses.
As they typically are on Sundays, the Jags will be one of the teams slotted in the 1:00 pm EST window on Sunday (Oct. 11). Per 506 Sports, those who live in the green shaded areas will be able to see the game.
Similarly to Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans, Andrew Catalon will serve as the play-by-play analyst while James Lofton will serve as the color commentator for Sunday’s showdown in Houston.
The Texans will enter Sunday as the leader of the all-time series with a 23-13 record over the Jaguars. They’ve also won four of the last five meetings between the two with the last win for Jacksonville occurring Week 1 of the 2017 season.
For Jags coach Doug Marrone, Sunday’s game will be a huge one as he’s currently going through a season where it feels like his job is on the line. Not only would it end a three-game skid, but it would also put the Jags at 2-1 in their division with a winnable game coming up against the Detroit Lions.
