The Texans began the 2018 regular season with three straight losses and a whole lot of questions. They ended the regular season in triumphant fashion, beating the Jaguars 20-3 to clinch the AFC South title.
Houston (11-5) will win the division by at least a game over the Colts and Titans. Those two 9-6 teams meet in the Sunday night game.
Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson passed for 234 yards, with no turnovers, and rushed for 66 yards and a touchdown to lead the offense. DeAndre Hopkins had 12 catches for 147 yards.
It's Houston's third AFC South title in four years, and fifth overall.
With the victory, the Texans clinch at least the No. 3 seed in the AFC playoffs, pending the outcome of the Chiefs-Raiders and Chargers-Broncos games later Sunday. The Texans could clinch the No. 2 seed and a first-round bye with losses by the Chiefs and Chargers; the Texans would hold the strength of victory tiebreaker over the Chiefs.
