The Houston Texans secured a win against Arizona on Sunday, marking their third consecutive victory. Their upcoming matchup with Jacksonville could propel them to the top spot in the AFC South. Despite the Jaguars holding a 7-3 record, the Texans’ previous victory over them means that a win in the next game would place them in the division’s lead. Quarterback C.J. Stroud’s promising performance has been pivotal in the Texans’ recent success. With 2,962 passing yards, Stroud stands out as a rookie, garnering his fans’ chants of “M-V-P”. The team’s ability to run the ball effectively has been a key asset, with Devin Singletary delivering standout performances in the running game. However, the Texans have struggled with sustaining their momentum in the second half of games, highlighting the need for consistent execution. Defensive players such as CB Derek Stingley have shown promise, but the absence of linebacker Denzel Perryman due to suspension and other injuries presents challenges. Moving forward, Stroud’s ability to minimize turnovers will be crucial for the Texans as they aim to continue their winning streak against the Jaguars.
