AI GeneratedThe Houston Texans are gaining offensive momentum after a slow start, bolstered by the addition of Marvin Harrison Jr. and the return of Nico Collins. As they face the struggling Jacksonville Jaguars in London, the game serves as a pivotal moment for C.J. Stroud and Houston to climb above .500 and challenge Jacksonville's dominance in the division.
Kyle, correct me if I'm wrong.
Last year, I thought the Texans started this season 0-3.
All of a sudden, they caught fire.
And then they started really picking it up offensively.
So they make a move.
They get Marvin Harrison Jr. on the other side of Nico Collins.
And they got a Jags team that stumbled all over the place in London
against the Philadelphia Eagles here.
I mean, boy, this is kind of an interesting ballgame, too.
This is a great one.
It's a matchup of interesting quarterbacks.
Trevor Lawrence has shown to be kind of the guy we thought he
was when he was drafted first overall.
C.J. Stroud hasn't, but since Nico Collins
came back two games ago, he's looked better.
Those have been his best two graded games of the season,
and I kind of think this is a hinged spot.
I think the Marvin Harrison trade was kind of emblematic of that.
You've got Houston, who obviously started 0-4.
They killed Tennessee last week.
Now you've got Jacksonville, and then
you've got some winnable games after that.
If they can get past Jacksonville,
you're looking at Giants by Chargers-Browns full.
Like this team could be above .500 sooner rather than later.
And if that's the case in that division,
they could make some noise here.
C.J. Stroud's going to be, I don't want
to say an average quarterback, slightly.
Just a tick above average.
And Nico Collins stays on the field.
They could make Jacksonville kind of hear him a little bit.
I still think Jacksonville pretty
clearly the best team in this division.
But it could get close sooner rather than later
if Houston can pull this one off in London.
