The Jaguars are about to win the AFC South, and the Texans' starters are taking the second half off to prepare for the wild card round.

The Houston Texans are still in the running for the AFC South division title, but the pathway is on thin ice following Sunday afternoon.

The Texans just need two games in Week 18 to fall their way in order to steal the AFC South in Week 18. That relies on Houston taking care of business vs. the Colts, while the Titans take down the Jaguars on the road in Jacksonville to even up both at 12-5, and thus giving Houston the tiebreaker based on both teams’ record within the division.

C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans entered Week 18 against the Indianapolis Colts with a plan, but decided to change it.

After the end of the Houston Texans vs Indianapolis Colts and the Jacksonville Jaguars vs Tennessee Titans games, this is how the AFC South looked to end the season.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have had an interesting year when it comes to their 2o25 rookie class. Their aggressive draft day trade for Travis Hunter dominated the storylines for Jacksonville well into the early part of the season but an injury ended his rookie year after just seven games.
