Top of the Morning from London, friends.
It's time for the Houston Texans to find their way back in the AFC South divisional race.
With an early kick across the pond, the Texans take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 6 at Wembley Stadium. With a victory, Houston would move to 2-4 on the year and 2-1 in divisional play.
The Texans’ Week 6 battle against the fighting Liam Coens is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. CT on NFL Network. The television commentators for the game are Bob Wischusen (play-by-play), Louis Riddick (analyst), and Molly McGrath (reporter).
Houston is coming off its first win of the regular season with a 26-3 beatdown against the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium. Pro Bowl C.J. Stroud threw for 261 yards and scored two touchdowns as Houston's offense found life in the second half to snap its winless start.
Everything that could have gone right for the Texans did on both sides, primarily in the second half. The offense stalled because of penalties in the first half, but Houston did enough to set up four field goals from Ka'imi Fairbairn, building a 12-3 halftime lead.
From there, Houston took over and dominated. The offense totaled 225 yards and two touchdowns, including a 9-yard reception to Jaylin Noel in the fourth quarter. As for the defense, it held former No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward and the Titans offense to 49 yards and had 16-0 point advantage.
Houston held the Titans to a season-low 187 total yards. Headlined by a three-sack performance from Will Anderson Jr., the pass rush recorded four sacks, including two on fourth-down stops.
And following Sunday's win, the Texans officially traded for Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. Earlier this week, Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans confirmed that Harrison will play at least a select number of snaps on the road.
So, who is in and who is out for both sides? Let's take a look at the inactive list.
