HOU vs. JAX: Live updates, score, results, highlights, for Sunday's NFL game

Through 3 Quarters

The Houston Texans are just one quarter away from delivering their fans the win they've been expecting all week. They have emerged as the frontrunner and are ahead of the Jacksonville Jaguars 20-7. The Texans have enjoyed the tag-team combination of TE Darren Fells and WR Brandin Cooks. The former has caught two passes for one TD and 57 yards, while the latter has caught six passes for 97 yards.

Houston has been a nightmare for Jacksonville's offensive line with three sacks already. We'll see if Houston can continue to haunt the offensive line.

What to Know

The Houston Texans are 6-2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars since November of 2016, and they'll have a chance to extend that success on Sunday. The Texans and Jacksonville will face off in an AFC South battle at 1 p.m. ET at NRG Stadium. These two teams have had a rocky road up to this point with four consecutive losses for Houston and three for Jacksonville.

Houston came up short against the Minnesota Vikings this past Sunday, falling 31-23. Houston's loss shouldn't obscure the performances of QB Deshaun Watson, who passed for two TDs and 300 yards on 33 attempts, and WR Will Fuller, who caught six passes for one TD and 108 yards. That was the first 300+ yard effort for Watson this season.

Special teams collected 11 points for the Texans. K Ka'imi Fairbairn delivered a perfect 3-for-3 game.

Meanwhile, the Jaguars came up short against the Cincinnati Bengals this past Sunday, falling 33-25. Jacksonville's defeat came about despite a quality game from WR D.J. Chark, who caught eight passes for two TDs and 95 yards.

Most of the squad's points came courtesy of special teams, which contributed 13. K Aldrick Rosas delivered a perfect 4-for-4 game.

The Texans are the favorite in this one, with an expected 6-point margin of victory. True fans might be the only ones betting on them, currently 0-4 ATS, to cover the spread.

After unsatisfying finishes in their previous games, both teams are out for the full three points in this fixture. We'll see which team satisfies their hunger and which team leaves with an empty stomach.
