Texans clinch AFC South with blowout win over Jaguars

LINE: Texans -6.5. O/U: 45.5ABOUT THE JAGUARS (5-10): The 23-year-old Bortles can set another club record Sunday as he needs 179 passing yards to eclipse Mark Brunell’s single-season mark of 4,367, which he totaled in 1996.

HOUSTON (AP) – J.J. Watt was asked what it was like to play with two hands on Sunday after spending the past three games with a cast over his broken left hand.

J.J. Watt and Whitney Mercilus led the defense and Jonathan Grimes scored twice to help the Houston Texans clinch the AFC South with a 30-6 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. His route-running ability makes him a great option near the sidelines and he’s gotten plenty of looks throughout the season as he’s been targeted 92 times entering Week 17. Blake Bortles will desperately need to have more time in the pocket to pick apart this Houston pass defense or it could be another long day for Jaguars fans.

Blake Bortles has been able to put up the stats this year, but he’s still making some bad decisions that are hurting his team. “I have to be better”. Gus Bradley said that he’s playing this game to win and that if players are healthy enough they will play their normal amount of snaps. “He can be disruptive”.

Last week Brandon Weeden, claimed after being cut by Dallas, became the fourth Texans quarterback to start and notch a win for the team in a rout of the Titans. Right now they hold first place in the AFC South with an 8-7 record. “There are bigger goals ahead of us”.

In 10 games this season, Hoyer has thrown for 2,357 yards with 18 touchdowns and six interceptions. He recently sustained a foot injury during the final quarter of their win against Tennessee last week.
