Yahoo Sports Staff Updated Sun, October 18, 2026 at 12:21 PM UTC About Our Ads Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement In this story One of the AFC's best teams faces one of the worst in the conference for the NFL's final game in London this season.
The Jacksonville Jaguars play their second consecutive game at their second home in the United Kingdom after a 19-17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 5.
Jacksonville's chances of extending its record as one of the AFC's top teams look strong against a Houston Texans team that won its first game of the season last week against the 0-5 Tennessee Titans.
However, the Texans present an intriguing matchup with their 11th-ranked pass offense facing a Jaguars defense that is the NFL's third-worst against the pass. CJ Stroud has the fourth-most passing yards in the league and is adding another weapon in Marvin Harrison Jr.

Houston also has the worst rushing offense in the AFC and will be without David Montgomery. That won't improve against Jacksonville, which has allowed the NFL's fewest rushing yards.
Trevor Lawrence is arguably off to the best start of his career, throwing 10 touchdown passes to 3 interceptions, completing 67% of his passes for 1,174 yards. Houston surprisingly ranks 23rd against the pass, so his success could continue.
Getting a win over the Texans will be important for the Jaguars — not just for defeating an inferior opponent, but for keeping pace with the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens at the top of the AFC.

With less than 90 minutes remaining until the Texans and Jaguars kick off, each team has announced its inactives for Week 6 in London.
The Houston Texans made it clear all week that newly-acquired receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. would play for the team in Week 6. They followed through with that promise Sunday.
Harrison is not among the team's inactives for the contest.
He's expected to play, but not expected to receive the full allotment of snaps.
Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans told reporters Wednesday that Harrison is in the game plan and will make his debut with Houston on Sunday, days after arriving via trade from the Arizona Cardinals .
He's not expected to play a full allotment of snaps , but Harrison will be part of Houston's offense for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London.
The game will mark the start of a reunion between Harrison and quarterback C.J. Stroud, who played with each other to great success as college teammates at Ohio State.
"I'm just excited, man," Harrison told reporters at Texans practice Wednesday. … "It's surreal, really, to play with him now again and, like I said, just help him out the best that I can."
