A new week of football is here as a the Jacksonville Jaguars begin preparations for their road trip to Texas to face AFC South division foes, the Houston Texans

In addition to QB C.J. Stroud and K Ka'imi Fairbairn, Houston will be without OLs Tytus Howard and Ed Ingram and d DB Jalen Pitre.

Two teams in the AFC South made blockbuster moves to fix their franchise and make a run to the postseason. Neither team was the Houston Texans.

The Colts have a short window to win a Super Bowl, and they're not the only AFC South team with big holes to fill at the trade deadline.

The Houston Texans have been quiet ahead of Tuesday's 3 p.m. NFL trade deadline, but the contenders in the AFC South were busy.

The New York Jets likely took the Cincinnati Bengals out of the AFC North hunt with their upset win. The Dallas Cowboys' playoff chances took a massive hit with their loss to the Denver Broncos, while the Tampa Bay Buccaneers appear to be cruising toward their fifth straight NFC South title.

Trevor Lawrence was far from perfect in the Jaguars' latest clash with the Las Vegas Raiders, but he did enough to get his team back in the win column.

After a loss to Denver that had some unsightly red-zone offense, Texans fans were not happy in this week's mailbag.

The computer clearly loves the NFC West with three teams projected to make the playoffs. Despite injuries, the 49ers (6-3) are expected to do just enough to earn the final wild-card spot, with a 76.1% chance to make the playoffs -- well ahead of the Bears (41.5%), who are projected as the first team out.
