2. Sacksonville makes a triumphant return against Houston

Sacksonville has been missing lately. Last week, the Jaguars defense was unable to register a sack. They were able to hit the quarterback but unable to sack him.

You might remember that Sacksonville was born in Houston, two years ago. Calais Campbell had a huge game. He had four of the defense’s 10 sacks. They dominated in that 29-7 victory in Houston.

You might look at the current injury report and be worried. There are some important defensive players on the list, particularly with Yannick Ngakoue already ruled out. Expect the Jaguars defense to be ready to still make an impact with their pass rush.

Josh Allen will get to Deshaun Watson for his first profession quarterback sack. Watson was sacked six times in New Orleans. Sacksonville might match their sack total from that 2017 game.

The Jaguars secondary will benefit from the pass rush. Jalen Ramsey will get his first pick-six of the season. Ramsey will smother DeAndre Hopkins throughout the game. Hopkins might catch three passes for 20 yards.
