Official Texans vs. Jaguars Game Thread, 9/12/2021

[Arky]

The Texans will host Jacksonville in the 2021 season opener at noon Sunday on CBS. For the Texans, you still need a scorecard to tell who's who. Jacksonville is interesting because they will probably start rookie draft pick QB Trevor Lawrence. (side note: Packers @ Saints will be played in Jacksonville while the Jags are in Houston - hurricane, yada, yada).

I have no idea how this one will turn out but it would be nice if the Texans can keep pressure on the rookie QB. Minus a few series vs. the Bucs, the Texan defense was not too bad in the preseason - let's see how they do in the real games.

Just a guess but I get Jags 24, Texans 22.
