The Houston Texans are a surprise entry into the 2023 NFL playoffs thanks to CJ Stroud. The 2023 NFL Draft overall pick looks like a solid building block, and it has the Texans in contention.

But the Jacksonville Jaguars should present a big challenge in Week 12. The Texans actually saw the two teams split in Week 3, so Jacksonville will be more motivated than ever to close out Houston.

A win could be huge for Houston’s playoff hopes. The Jaguars lead the AFC South with a 7-3 record heading into Week 12. The Texans are right behind them at 6-4. A Houston win would not only improve things in the division, but also give the Texans an advantage after sweeping the Jaguars in the regular season.
