The Houston Texans and Tennessee Titans shook up the AFC South on Sunday, with a last-second thriller in London and a long-awaited first win that deepened the Indianapolis Colts’ troubles.
Texans: last-second win and new weapons in London
The Houston Texans (2-4) edged the Jacksonville Jaguars (4-2) 34-31 on a last-second field goal, as reported by La Presse. CBS Sports had highlighted before kickoff that this Week 6 matchup was being played at Wembley Stadium in London, where the Jaguars were extending their stay in the UK.
According to CBS Sports, Jaguars cornerback and wide receiver Travis Hunter delivered a standout two-way performance against the Texans, recording both an interception on defense and a receiving touchdown, described as a history-making showing. On the Houston side, Marvin Harrison Jr. made his first catch as a member of the Texans versus Jacksonville, per CBS Sports, an early sign that a new target is being woven into the offense.
Titans: first win, Colts under fire
The Tennessee Titans (1-5) finally broke through with a 26-20 victory over the Indianapolis Colts (2-4). CBS Sports notes that Indianapolis actually led 13-0 before collapsing against a team that had been winless coming in. In its Week 6 overreactions column, the outlet even raises the question of whether it is time for the Colts to “clean house” after this latest loss.
The Colts’ outing also drew harsh reviews in CBS Sports’ Week 6 grades, where Indianapolis received an “F” among the teams that have already played. At least the day brought a major personal milestone: CBS Sports reports that wide receiver Keenan Allen passed Terrell Owens and Anquan Boldin on the all-time receptions list. With 1,081 career catches, Allen now sits ninth in NFL history, and another productive season could push him even higher.
Despite the defeat, Jacksonville remains atop the division at 4-2, but the gap is tightening behind them after Houston’s late heroics and Tennessee’s long-awaited first win.
