The Jacksonville Jaguars will get a chance to even the score with the Houston Texans, who beat them last month and acquired their only win of the year so far. A win would also help the Jags emerge from the cellar of the AFC South and start the second half of their season with some momentum.
Despite the Jags and Texans’ record, this one could be entertaining as the Texans have the No. 30 ranked defense and the Jags are right behind them with the 31st. When looking at their performances up until this point, that could set up both units to have a lot of points scored on the respective units, even with the Jags starting rookie quarterback Jake Luton.
For those wanting to watch all the action, the Jags and Texans’ game is currently scheduled to take place on Sunday (Nov. 8) at 1 PM EST if there aren’t any COVID-19 related setbacks. Those of you who live in the yellow shaded areas will be able to watch the action locally from your homes, according to 506 Sports.
This week Spero Dedes (play-by-play analyst) and Adam Archuleta (color commentator) will be on the call for the Jags’ and Texans’ second meeting of the year.
The Texans will enter Sunday’s game with a 24-13 record against the Jags, including a Week 5 victory against them that went down by a score of 30-14. The Jags will be looking for their first win against the Texans since December of 2017, which would end a five-game winning streak for Houston in the all-time series.
Additionally, with Week 9 set to be Luton’s first start, he could do something Minshew hasn’t in his career and beat the Texans. When looking at the Jags’ defense, that may not be an easy task though, as Jacksonville’s defense has allowed 30 or more points in all of their losses this season.
