Texans at Jaguars: Answering the key questions for Week 5 matchup
Trevor Lawrence took his lumps as a rookie against the Texans last season but he and the Jaguars look vastly improved heading into Sunday's matchup against a winless Houston squad.It’s four weeks into the 2022 season and the Texans still have a win streak at stake. They travel to play the Jaguars , a team they’ve beaten eight consecutive times, at noon Sunday at TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville, Fla.
The Chronicle’s Brooks Kubena and Jonathan M. Alexander discuss the major questions and keys to this game:The difference between last year’s Jaguars team and this year’s team is immense. Jacksonville should not have been as bad as it was in 2021, when the franchise secured the No. 1 overall pick for a second straight year thanks to a dysfunctional season that saw coach Urban Meyer fired after just 13 games. Owner Shahid Khan’s hiring of Doug Pederson is looking strong right now.
If the Texans can win up front — which is easier said than done — take care of the football and establish the run, then they can have success. If they don't take care of the football, they may be forced to abandon the run. But I doubt they replicate what happened last week against the Chargers. The 75-yard run was the result of great blocking from the Texans, great vision from Pierce and bad run defense from the Chargers. The Jags are a little more disciplined than that.
