The Houston Texans finally got the win they desperately needed last weekend, and now they have a chance to start turning their season around. After opening the year 0-4, the Texans dominated the Tennessee Titans in a 26-3 victory, giving Houston something positive to build on after a miserable first month. Now the Texans head across the Atlantic for an early Sunday morning matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium in London, with a chance to pick up another win over an AFC South rival.
Jacksonville won't make things easy, though. The Jaguars are 4-1 and come off a dramatic 19-17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles in London last weekend, giving them plenty of momentum heading into another overseas game. But Houston has an exciting new weapon: Marvin Harrison Jr. is expected to make his Texans debut and reunite with former Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud. For Texans fans back home, Sunday's early kickoff is a chance to see what this new-look offense can do against one of the AFC's better teams, with Houston hoping to prove last week's win was the start of a much-needed turnaround.
This AFC South matchup kicks off Sunday morning at 8:30 a.m. CDT, and fans across the country can tune in with Sling TV.
