Official Texans vs. Jaguars Game Thread, 11/18/2012

[Arky]

The 8-1 Texans will be host to the 1-8 Jacksonville Jaguars this Sunday at Reliant with noon kickoff. The Texans have been pretty good at not taking weaker opponents lightly and this should be a situation where they continue to take-care-of-business. Hopefully, the Texans can jump out to an early lead and begin to rest starters as they will have to turn it around and play Detroit on Thanksgiving just four days later.

It's been all downhill for the Jags since MJD went down with a foot injury and he will be out in Sunday's game against the Texans. At present, S Dwight Lowery, FB Greg Jones and CB Rashean Mathis are all listed as questionable. The Jags are currently on a six game losing streak. The Jags are a young team in search of an identity and should not be underestimated.
