What TV channel is Texans-Jaguars on today? Live stream, time, how to watch online

The Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguars face off on Sunday, Oct. 9. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial).

The Jacksonville Jaguars are on a streak of streaks.

Last week, they lost at Philadelphia to extend their NFL record-skid of consecutive losses to NFC teams to 18. The week before, they ended an 18-game road losing streak with a victory at the Los Angeles Chargers. In Week 2, they won their eighth straight at home against Indianapolis.

Next up: Jacksonville (2-2) has a chance to end an eight-game slide against Houston (0-3-1) on Sunday. Winning would be another sign of progress for a franchise that’s endured double-digits losses in 10 of the last 11 seasons and finished last in the AFC South in each of the previous four years.

Despite the struggles, Jacksonville had a chance to tie the game on its last drive before Lawrence’s final giveaway.

Houston, which held a plus-10 advantage in turnover margin during the eight-game series streak, could use a clean game Sunday. The Jaguars are tied for third in the NFL with nine takeaways.

Davis Mills has five touchdown passes and five turnovers in four games. He also has been sacked 11 times. He hasn’t been great, but he’s been far from the team’s only issue.

When is Texans-Jaguars?

The Jaguars play the Texans at noon (1 p.m. ET) Sunday, Oct 9.

Preview

KISS THE RING: The Pro Football Hall of Fame will present former Jaguars left tackle Tony Boselli his “ring of excellence” at halftime. Jaguars owner Shad Khan also will unveil new stadium signage to reflect Boselli’s achievement as the franchise’s first player in the Hall of Fame.

The game will include nearly 100 former players as part of the team’s “legends weekend” and comes on the heels of the debut of “71,” a documentary about Boselli’s life and career.

It’s fitting timing considering the Texans chose Boselli with the first pick in the 2002 expansion draft. Houston took on Boselli’s $6.8 million contract despite a lingering shoulder injury, and he never played a down for the Texans.

RUNNING WILD: Houston rookie Dameon Pierce ranks 10th in the NFL with 313 yards rushing after a career-best 131 yards on the ground last week against the Chargers. His 75-yard touchdown run was the third-longest run in team history.

He is one of just five rookies since 2017 to run for at least 300 yards in the first four games of a season, joining Kareem Hunt (502), Dalvin Cook (354), Josh Jacobs (307) and Clyde Edwards-Helaire (304).

The fourth-round pick from nearby Florida needs 62 yards rushing Sunday to join Arian Foster and Lamar Miller as the only players in Texans history to reach 375 yards rushing in the team’s first five games.

“I’m just trying to soak everything up and be a sponge,” Pierce said.

COOKING THE JAGS: Texans receiver Brandin Cooks has five 100-yard games and five touchdowns in six meetings with Jacksonville, capped by a 102-yard, two-touchdown performance last year.

Cooks is certainly aware of his success against Jacksonville but doesn’t believe it has any bearing this week.

“I don’t necessarily think about the past when you think of the Jacksonville Jaguars,” he said. “When you turn on the film, they’re already showing that they’re a completely different team in a good way.”
