The Houston Texans dropped their first game of the season last week, getting blown out by the Minnesota Vikings to fall to 2-1 on the year. They're still in first place in the AFC South, however, so things could be worse.

Just ask the Jacksonville Jaguars, who are 0-3 on the year and are coming off an embarrassing blowout loss to the Bills on Monday Night Football. The Jags need a win but if they want to avoid dropping to 0-4, they'll have to beat the Texans in Houston, and Texans fans are hoping that doesn't happen.

Who is in the broadcast booth and who is the head referee for this AFC South showdown?

It shouldn't come as a surprise that the Texans aren't getting the A team, the B team, or even the C team this week. After all, they're facing an 0-3 Jags team and this game hopefully has the makings of another Jags blowout loss.

Head Referee: Tra Blake
