Official Texans vs. Jaguars Game Thread, 10/11/2020

[Arky]

The 1-3 Jacksonville Jaguars visit NRG this Sunday to play the 0-4 Texans in an early game. It will be the Texans first division game while the Jags have already gone 1-1 in the division ( win over Indy, loss to the Titans). The Jags have several people injured and hurting - which should give the Texans a good chance to get their first "W". Still, the Jags always give the Texans a tough time and QB Gardner Minshew II, RB James Robinson and WR DJ Chark will be the Jags offensive players to keep an eye on.

This will be the Texans first game with interim coach Romeo Crennel at the helm. It will be interesting to see how they respond. I see it as:

Texans 28, Jags 23

A few changes to the NFL schedule this weekend:

Denver @ New England has been moved from Sunday to Monday @ 4 pm CST on ESPN. Chargers @ Saints is still the regularly scheduled MNF game - also on ESPN. This is essentially, a Monday night doubleheader.

The next day (Tuesday), the Bills visit the Titans on CBS @ 6 pm CST.

Texans get on the board first. Fairbairn makes a 36-yarder - barely.

Minshew hits Cole on 3rd and 6 for a 13-yard TD pass. Jags take the lead.

Jags 7, Texans 3

6:33 left in the half.

Texans still looking dysfunctional at times.

Watson hits Fells over the middle wide open for a 44-yard TD.

Texans 10, Jags 7

4:32 left in the half.

Nice!
