1:00 p.m.: Scheduled start of the game

Jacksonville is trying to avoid an 0-4 start that presents a seemingly insurmountable hole. Only one team in NFL history – the 1992 San Diego Chargers – made the playoffs after starting 0-4.

The Jags have been winless in four games five times previously and have never won more than five times in any of those seasons.

The Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguars will be eager to move on from last week’s tough losses when they meet in Houston on Sunday.

Houston opened the season with two wins before defeating Minnesota 34-7 in Week 3. The Jaguars are faring far worse, still winless and reeling from an embarrassing 47-10 loss to Buffalo on Monday night.

“Look, there’s going to be adversity in this league, you’re going to face it year in and year out,” Jacksonville coach Doug Pederson said. “But it’s a matter of how you recover from it and fight through it.”

Houston quarterback CJ Stroud, who threw his first two interceptions of the season last week, said it’s important to learn from what happened against the Vikings and be wary of letting bad feelings arise from that game .

“Don’t let one game define who we are,” he said. “It’s still the beginning of the year, we’re still a really, really good football team and we’re going to go out and prove that. We have to learn from our mistakes, but we also can’t hang our heads and not learn from them and just start drowning in our own grief. So continue to keep the loot.”

Jacksonville quarterback Trevor Lawrence has lost eight straight starts and has thrown just two touchdown passes this season. But he was successful in his previous trip to Houston, and his most recent victory was a 24-21 win over the Texans on November 26th.

He remains confident that this team can turn things around despite its terrible start.

“Of course we are frustrated and the game the other night was a disaster in almost every way,” he said. “But we still have confidence in our group, our coaches, our team. That won’t change and that can’t change. I think that’s when you have problems, when you lose confidence and start pointing fingers at others and none of that happens.”
