The Houston Texans have now officially fallen to 0-3 on the season after a brutal 10-17 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, now leaving them tied with the Tennessee Titans for last in the AFC South, and the Texans' first time going 0-3 to start the year since 2020. Here's five instant takeaways for the Texans from the results in Jacksonville:

The Houston Texans fanbase is sick and tired of waiting for the offense to come around and is letting their frustrations heard.

CJ Stroud will be on the run once again, per our Texans vs. Jaguars predictions for Sunday, September 21, 2025.

Coach Ben Johnson’s team was throttled by his old friends in Detroit, losing 52-21. Bears quarterback Caleb Williams wasn’t much better during his second go of it in 2025, completing 19 of 30 passes for 207 yards with two touchdowns and one interception during a blowout loss at Detroit.

The Texans' descent to an 0-3 start include some troubling signs in Sunday's loss to AFC South rival Jacksonville.

Houston Texans All-Pro cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. is questionable to return to the game at Jacksonville on Sunday after suffering a rib injury. The injury appeared to occur on the Jaguars' first-quarter touchdown drive.

Texans veteran running back Dare Ogunbowale will be set to suit up for what will be his 100th-career game in the NFL vs. the Jaguars in Week 3–– with nearly half of those contests coming while being with Houston, his home since the 2022 season.

That drive feels like a microcosm of the Texans' offense through the first two games. The beginning of the season hasn't been kind to Houston at all: 14.0 points per game is dead last in the NFL, and they're 29th in total yards per game.
