Out in London, the Jaguars’ secondary is already getting absolutely roasted, and the 1-4 Houston Texans, led by C.J. Stroud, are making them pay big time. It’s a huge early lead for a team that desperately needs a win.
Texans Offense Lights Up Struggling Jags
Talk about making a statement! Stroud first linked up with Nico Collins on a monster 42-yard deep route. Collins straight-up juked Jaguars cornerback Travis Hunter and just blew right past him. Then, with the Jags’ defense looking totally lost, Foster Moreau was left wide open in the end zone for an easy touchdown. Just like that, it’s 7-0 Houston, and the 4-1 division leaders are on their heels.
Trevor Lawrence’s Bad Pick And A Questionable Call Derail Jacksonville
But the Jaguars aren’t just struggling on defense. Their next drive, which looked promising, went sideways fast. They drove deep into Houston territory, and Bhayshul Tuten even looked like he punched it in for a score, but BAM! A highly questionable holding call on Brenton Strange brought it all back. And wouldn’t you know it, that cost them huge. Trevor Lawrence, under pressure, then fired a super bad pass right into the end zone, and Calen Bullock was there to pick it off. That’s a costly turnover when you’re already trying to get back in the game.
This is a massive game for the Texans. At a dismal 1-4, they absolutely, desperately need to beat the division-leading 4-1 Jaguars today. They’ve definitely started strong, but can they keep this momentum going?
