Texans fly to London for Jaguars matchup two days early
Summary

The Houston Texans arrived in London two days before their game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, aimed at adjusting to the six-hour time difference. They utilized blue light glasses and planned a sleep schedule for the players during the trip. This approach mirrors their previous trip to London in 2019, where they defeated the Jaguars 26-3. The Texans will continue their normal pregame routine in London and will return to the U.S. immediately after the game to prepare for their next matchup against the New York Giants.
