NFL PREP FOOTBALL Jags hope to keep up momentum GAME MANAGERS vs Texans

By MARK LONG Associated Press

JACKSONVILLE — The Jacksonville Jaguars hope to carry their momentum across the pond. The Jaguars (4-4) have won consecutive games and four of six as they head to London to face Houston. Jacksonville has played annually at Wembley Stadium since 2013, and the overseas trip has become an integral part of the team’s financial stability. Now, though, it could be the key to a successful season. The Jaguars need a victory to avoid getting swept by the Texans (5-3) and falling two games behind the AFC South rival with seven to play. “Great momentum coming into a foreign environ- ment,” Jaguars defensive end Dawuane Smoot said. “We usually play better in London as well.” BRENT KUYKENDALL/Lake City Reporter Jacksonville is coming off Columbia wide receiver Marquez Bell caught four passes for 165 yards and two touchdowns against Middleburg last Friday. a 29-15 victory over the New York Jets, the franchise’s first win in seven years in Tigers looking to change up how they call plays the week before traveling overseas.
