The Jacksonville Jaguars and Houston Texans are set to square off in Week 10 of the 2025 season.
It’ll be our first chance to see the team’s newest player, Jakobi Meyers, who was acquired on Tuesday’s trade deadline. Today happens to be his 29th birthday — many happy returns, Jakobi!
“A pro’s pro,” head coach Liam Coen said Friday when asked how Meyers handled this week’s onboarding. “Handled things really well within the normal D-and-D [down and distance] plan, third down, now we’re heading into the red zone. He’s done a great job going and getting lined up, studying. He...

This week, we asked Jacksonville Jaguars fans if they liked how the team handled the trade deadline.
83% of fans said yes.
Jacksonville traded a 2026 fourth-round pick and a 2026 sixth-round pick to Las Vegas on Tuesday to acquire Jakobi Meyers.
“We’re looking forward to seeing how his skill set fits within the system,” Jaguars general manager James Gladstone said via ESPN. “I think from afar it does. You think about where we’re at in terms of volume of drops, what’s his superpower? It’s not dropping the football, right? So you just take it from the surface level, it...

Welcome to Big Cat Country’s staff roundtable!
Today, we’re previewing Week 10’s matchup between the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium.
We also have a new Jaguar to discuss.
Question 1: What are your initial thoughts on the Jakobi Meyers trade, and what are your rest-of-season expectations for him?
Travis Holmes: I thought the acquisition of Meyers was a good fit of need, lower cost, and fit for a guy who does many of the things that the current group of Jacksonville receivers struggle with (contested catches, drops, accepting contact on routes into the middle of the...

A few hours before Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline, Jaguars general manager James Gladstone executed his sixth deal this year to acquire Jakobi Meyers.
Jacksonville sent a 2026 fourth-rounder and a 2026 sixth-rounder to Las Vegas in the process. Meyers turns 29 on Sunday and is playing on an expiring contract; his value was probably worth closer to a single fourth- or fifth-round pick.
Yet it was a necessary overpay. The offense, which leads the NFL with 25 drops this season, needed a trustable target — and quickly. Four of their top five pass-catchers (Travis Hunter, Brian Thomas Jr., Dyami Brown,...

As the Jacksonville Jaguars prepare to face the Houston Texans in Week 10, we sat down with Scott Barzilla of Battle Red Blog to learn more about the opposing side.
Question 1: C.J. Stroud’s status is up in the air after he suffered a concussion last week. Assuming he doesn’t play against Jacksonville, what’s your confidence level in Davis Mills to keep the ship afloat?
I think he can play relatively turnover-free football but I have little confidence in his ability to move the ball. He has the same problems with accuracy he has always had. Jags fans will...

The Jacksonville Jaguars travel to face the Houston Texans this Sunday. Here are three key battles to keep an eye on in Week 10:
Let’s dive straight in with the newest addition to the Jaguars. With injury wiping out a chunk of the receiver room, James Gladstone made a move before the trade deadline, sending the Las Vegas Raiders a 4th and 6th round selection in next year’s draft for Jakobi Meyers. In the final season of a 3-year, $33m deal, Meyers requested a trade back in August when negotiations weren’t going anywhere. Despite...

As Week 10 approaches, we rounded up the latest NFL power rankings to get a sense of how the Jaguars are viewed nationally.
They find ways to win even when it seems like they’re trying to lose.
They have five more road games this season, three in domes and one in Denver. We want to see K Cam Little get a field-goal shot beyond 70 yards. Though maybe given Tuesday’s acquisition of WR Jakobi Meyers, the Jags can get...

The Jacksonville Jaguars stole a thriller on the road in Vegas on Sunday as they narrowly came away with a 30-29 victory to bring their record to 5-3 on the season. It was a wild game full of massive swings of momentum and for the Jags to figure out a way to win that one with the amount of injuries they were dealing with, as well as the reported illness of their quarterback, it showed a lot of grit that the fan base was hoping to see after dropping two consecutive games before the bye.
While a game like that...

Jaguars fans — are you confident the team is headed in the right direction?
And do you like how Jacksonville handled the trade deadline?
Please take our surveyTo me, the Jaguars’ acquisition of Jakobi Meyers was all about getting a reliable weapon for Trevor Lawrence and Liam Coen. It cost a 4th and a 6th round pick — which, for a...

Jacksonville’s relatively inexperienced, injury-riddled receiver room got a boost on Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline, as James Gladstone struck the sixth deal of his young tenure to acquire Jakobi Meyers.
To learn more about Meyers and get a sense of Las Vegas’ perspective, we conducted a quick Q&A with Silver & Black Pride.
Big thanks to Matt Holder for answering our questions!
Question 1: Are you surprised that the Raiders traded away Jakobi Meyers?
Not at all. He asked for a trade after training camp since he’s on a contract year and it became pretty clear that the new regime...

Happy Texans Week! We already discussed the good, the bad, and the ugly against the Texans previously during Week 3, so let’s revisit 2017, the last time the Jaguars swept the Texans. Hear me out, it worked in 2023 against the Colts and again in 2024 with the Titans.
Week 1 at NRG Stadium on September 10, 2017
Final score: Jaguars 29 – Texans 7
Attendance: 71,710
The Jaguars had 19 first downs and 30:05 time of possession, compared to the Texans’ 23 first downs and 29:55. Leonard Fournette, Dante Fowler Jr., and Tommy Bohanon scored touchdowns. Blake Bortles completed...

Less than 48 hours after defeating the Las Vegas Raiders in overtime, the Jacksonville Jaguars have reportedly completed a trade with Las Vegas, per multiple sources.
It may be worth noting that Meyers will be a free agent following this season. After his offseason request for a trade was denied, he has gotten his wish for a new home. As covered by Gus Logue:
With a 12th percentile 40-yard dash (4.63s), a 29th percentile broad jump (118″), and a 31st-percentile 3-cone drill (7.07s), Meyers has always been a below-average athlete by NFL standards. Maybe that’s why his game has...
