HOUSTON (KIAH) — The Houston Texans will look to avoid going into an 0-3 hole to start the season by getting a win at Jacksonville on Sunday.

The Texans last started 0-2 in 2023, but still managed to make the playoffs. Head coach DeMeco Ryans hope to do the same this year.

Only six teams in the Super Bowl era have made the playoffs after digging such an early season hole and just one since 2000 (Houston in 2018).

“It’s not ideal,” Stroud said. “But you don’t cry about it and be a Debbie Downer. ... There’s time and place for that. But two weeks in, can’t lose your mind but also can’t be too relaxed. It’s a little bit of a balance.”

The Jaguars (1-1), who haven't beaten Houston in Jacksonville since 2017, feel like they’re close to being unbeaten after two games.
