Texans, Jaguars compete for AFC South supremacy in 2026
Summary

The Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguars are favorites in the AFC South for the 2026 season. Both teams secured playoff spots last year, with the Jaguars winning the division and the Texans qualifying via wild card. The Jaguars face challenges as they lost key players in free agency but return Travis Hunter from injury. The Texans boast a strong defense with nearly all starters returning, aiming to improve their offense after a turnover-heavy postseason. The Indianapolis Colts and Tennessee Titans are also in the mix, but the division remains likely between Houston and Jacksonville.
