Jaguars versus Texans game could have feature unsung heroes

The NFL regular season is coming closer to an end and the Jacksonville Jacksonville Jaguars find themselves in a curious position. They don’t have to beat the Houston Texans in Week 17 to make the playoffs, so this could be the perfect game for a few players to be tested. Also, it’s a good time to look at the turnaround they’ve undergone this season.

Players respond in ways you might not have thought they might earlier in the season. The hole that the franchise found itself in could not have easily been turned around. The unselfishness of the Jaguars’ players has been unwavering. Especially on the offensive side of the ball. The top of the roster has its set playmakers. This allows others to step up and shine when those options are taken away.

Several Jaguars have come through for the Jaguars this season

Opposing teams are at a crossroads when they try to decide who to take away on any given play. Jacksonville spent a lot of money to make Christian Kirk a focal point of the offense. Similarly, fellow wide receiver Zay Jones is making the most of these opportunities.

Tight end Evan Engram is another example of a player that has been finding success in a new environment. The former Ole Miss Rebel has become the receiving threat that Jaguars have lacked at the position. He’s set the franchise record for receptions by a tight end in his prove-it year with the Jaguars.

These are examples of unselfish players contributing to the success of the team. The Jags are playing as a team that is winning games in different ways and is playing meaningful games in December. Texan’s game could allow for some unsung heroes.
