Both of these sides already know they won't be playing in the knock-out stages of the NFL season. Jacksonville Jaguars are bottom of the AFC South, with their opponents one place above them. Both teams have a woeful 2-11 season record but this game is the first for Jacksonville after the sacking of Urban Meyer. He's been replaced by Daniel Bervell and he will hope to get off to a winning start in his new job. Jacksonville have lost their last five games, last winning against Buffalo on November 7. Only seven points have been scored in their last two games, with none at all at Tennessee last week.

Houston Texans began the season with a home win over Jacksonville. Since then they've won just one of their next 12 games. That was a win over Tennessee last month. For the second year in a row, they became the first team to be eliminated from play-off conention. They come into this match having lost their last three games and conceding 64 points in their last two games. If you start a new job as coach, you'd prefer an easy game rather than face possible Super Bowl winners. Bervell has his wish and he can lead hs new team to a win that will take them off the bottom of the AFC South and the conference overall.
