Jaguars Curse Has Remained Even in Liam Coen Era

Head Coach Liam Coen has worked wonders on the Jacksonville Jaguars in his first year at the helm. Through 10 weeks, he has the team sitting at 5-4, with a real shot to make the playoffs. However, he'll have to find a way to get his Jaguars to bounce back from a brutal loss in their last outing.

Jacksonville had the opportunity to sweep the Houston Texans in Week 10, but it wasn't able to get the job done. They came into the game slightly favored on the road. At first, they were listed as underdogs, despite their better record coming into the matchup, as well as their head-to-head victory just a few weeks prior.

The line flipped from Texans -1.5 to Jaguars -1.5, though, due to a critical development. Star quarterback C.J. Stroud was ruled out of the contest due to a concussion he suffered in Houston's loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 9. Backup Davis Mills would start in his place. Unfortunately, it didn't matter for the Jaguars.
