Clash at NRG Stadium: Jacksonville Jaguars to Face Houston Texans in Week 12 Showdown
As the Jacksonville Jaguars prepare to take on the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium, fans are looking forward to what promises to be an electrifying game. The Jaguars, coming off a dominant 34-14 victory over the Tennessee Titans on November 19, have shown that they can be a force to reckon with. With a record of 7 wins and only 3 losses this season, they've demonstrated resilience and skill on both sides of the ball.
The JAC's performance against the Titans was particularly impressive in terms of offensive efficiency. The team's quarterback completed an outstanding 75 percent of his passes for a total of 262 yards and two touchdowns, earning him a passer rating close to perfection at around 120. This aerial assault was complemented by their ground game that added another two touchdowns. On defense, JAC forced three three-and-outs and recovered one fumble while holding their opponents to just 14 points.
However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for the Jaguars in recent weeks. Their encounter with the San Francisco 49ers on November 12 saw them struggle significantly as they managed only three points against San Francisco's robust defense. They turned over the ball four times and lost two fumbles which contributed heavily to their defeat.
Looking ahead at their matchup with HOU, it is crucial for JAC not only to maintain their offensive momentum but also tighten up ball security which faltered against SF earlier this month. The Texans will undoubtedly look for opportunities to capitalize on any mistakes made by JAC.
HOU has had its ups and downs this season but cannot be underestimated as any given Sunday can yield unexpected results in football. It will be essential for JAC’s defense – which showed its capability by sacking opposing quarterbacks five times across two games –to pressure HOU’s offense consistently.
The upcoming game is set for November 26th at NRG Stadium in Houston where fans can catch all the action live on CBS starting from noon local time (1 PM ET). This match could very well dictate playoff positioning as we move closer towards December football where every win counts exponentially more than before.
