The Houston Texans beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 34-31 on October 19, 2026, with C.J. Stroud playing among the best quarterbacks in the league and Travis Hunter turning in the best game of his career. The discussion has settled on what comes next: the Texans' following four games are the Giants, Chargers, Browns and Colts. Whether that stretch is enough to bring a 0-4 team back into contention is the open question.
