Wembley Stadium stages an AFC South collision on October 18 with the form book pointing two ways. Jacksonville arrive in London on a three-game winning streak, bookended by a 35-6 rout of New England and a gritty 19-17 edging of Philadelphia. Houston's last month reads W-L-L — a 26-3 dismantling of Tennessee either side of one-score defeats to Dallas and Indianapolis.

Head to head

The head-to-head ledger leans Texan, 4-3 across the last seven meetings, and the Texans also took the most recent one 36-29 last November. Yet the margins here are famously thin, which is what makes the individual matchups at Wembley the real theatre.

Watchlist
  • Travis Etienne Jr. brings 1,107 rushing yards and 7 touchdowns this season into a matchup with a Texans defense that just blanked Tennessee's attack in a 26-3 win.
  • Nico Collins, with 1,117 receiving yards and 71 catches this season, is the weapon Jacksonville's defense must contain after holding all three recent opponents to 17 points or fewer.
  • Five of the last seven meetings were decided by seven points or fewer, so fourth-quarter execution under the Wembley lights could settle this rivalry again.
