The Thursday Night Football matchup in Week 14 is one of the worst of the season and in the battle for the number one pick it will be the Houston Texans visiting the Jacksonville Jaguars at EverBank Field and the game will be streaming live online and on the radio from NFL.com and will be on the NFL Network starting up at 8:25 pm ET.
The Texans and Jaguars are two of the worst teams in the league, but at least Jacksonville can say they have won two of the last three games, while the Texans have not won a game since September. Houston made the playoffs last season as a top three seed and now they are looking at a top three pick after Matt Schaub had a terrible season and Arian Foster got hurt, leaving the team with some backups and a 10 game losing streak. Case Keenum has been solid for the Texans, but he hasn't been able to put together wins and now the team comes into the matchup on Thursday with a 2-10 record. The Texans won their first two games on finals plays, beating the Chargers at the end of regulation and the Titans in overtime, meaning they are a couple bounces away from being 0-12 on the season.
The team has been inconsistent on offense and amazingly the defense ranks third in the NFL and first in the AFC, but you wouldn't know it from their record. The team comes in ranked second in passing yards per game and 20th in rushing yards allowed and they last lost to the New England Patriots on Sunday with a 34-31 loss and now they take on the Jaguars in the first of two straight road games. The team already lost to the Jags two weeks ago and now they get the game on the road.
The Jaguars pulled out a nice win against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday and they now are 3-9 on the season and that is fairly respectable for a team that many thought could go winless. The team lost Justin Blackmon to a suspension and that has given Cecil Shorts more chances and he made the game winning catch last week for the Jags. The team has games left against the Texas as well as the Buffalo Bills, Tennessee Titans and Indianapolis Colts to end the year. The game on Thursday night starts up at 8:25 pm and has the Houston Texans visiting the Jaguars in Jacksonville.
