Shipley's Dozen: What the Jaguars' Loss to Texans Means and Travis Hunter's Next Step

In Jacksonville, Fla., a Shipley’s Dozen column breaks down the Jaguars’ Week 6 loss to the Houston Texans and what it means heading into the bye. The piece highlights Travis Hunter’s impact: a touchdown drive in the fourth quarter and a red-zone interception, both credited to the same player. Despite the loss, Jacksonville sits at 4-2, holds a two-game lead in the AFC South, and has an easier second-half schedule, keeping playoff odds “very, very healthy.” The column says officiating issues have hurt, including four bad calls over three games, but not enough to explain the defeat. It argues the Jaguars’ mistakes—drops, turnovers, penalties, and missed tackles—have been decisive. It also discusses potential trade interest in Brian Thomas Jr. and begins comparing possible partners, including the Las Vegas Raiders and Atlanta Falcons.
