HOUSTON (AP) - Houston running back Domanick Davis was inactive for Saturday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars because of inflammation in his knee. Davis sat out last week and missed two games in November with the same injury. He is just 24 yards shy of reaching 1,000 yards for the third straight season, and rushed for more than 100 yards in his last two outings. Jonathan Wells was expected to start in his place.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. The information contained |

HOUSTON (AP) - The Jacksonville Jaguars remember vividly what the Houston Texans did to them last year. That doesn't mean they like to discuss it. Jacksonville was headed for an AFC wild-card playoff spot when Houston handed the Jaguars a 21-0 loss at home on Dec. 26 that ended up keeping them out of the playoffs. On Saturday, the Jaguars face Houston again, and the only thing standing between them and clinching their first playoff berth since 1999 are, yes, the Texans. The lowly 2005 Texans. ``They spoi |

| (Best E Casino) - After their 21-14 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars back on Week 9, several members of the Houston Texans let it be known that they were not big fans of Jack Del Rio's team. Nothing would truly say "I hate you" like a victory for the Texans in the second leg of the home-and-home, to be played on Saturday at Reliant Stadium. The Jaguars can clinch their first postseason berth since 1999 with a victory in the game, and Houston would enjoy nothing better than to prevent such an occurrence. The Texan |

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - The Jacksonville Jaguars are close to returning to the playoffs for the first time since 1999. One more win might do it. The Jaguars (9-4) are widely considered a lock for one of the two AFC wild-card spots, especially with their remaining schedule. But the scenario also makes Sunday's game against struggling San Francisco (2-11) a prime spot for a letdown. The Jaguars believe otherwise. ``We know we've got to go back to work and get a win,'' linebacker Mike Peterson said. ``We lo |
