Jaguars vs Texans live stream: How to watch Trevor Lawrence debut

It's time for the Jaguars vs Texans live stream, which it puts the No. 1 overall pick Trevor Lawrence under center for his first NFL game against a Houston team looking to spoil his debut in this NFL live stream. 

Trevor Lawrence’s NFL career has been eagerly awaited since he won a national championship and offensive MVP honors at Clemson in 2018 and went to another national championship appearance game in 2020. The wait for his professional career ends Sunday against the Texans and just like his head coach, Lawrence will now be asked to get it done at the NFL level. 

Newly minted Jags’ head coach Urban Meyer built one heck of a resume at the college ranks. After brief stops as the head coach at Bowling Green and Utah, Meyer won two national championships at Florida and another at his alma mater, Ohio State. The 57-year-old is now tasked with leading pros to the same success he did with student athletes. 

The Texans are turning to long-time NFL assistant coach David Culley for answers. Culley was hired to be Houston’s fourth head coach since the team’s inaugural season in 2002. He has been on an NFL coaching staff every year since becoming the Buccaneers’ wide receivers in 1994. Which some quick math will tell you he’s been in the NFL longer than the team he now coaches. His latest stop was as the assistant head coach of the Ravens where he also served as their passing game coordinator.  

Inactives are as follows:

Jaguars: Daniel Thomas (S), Tre Herndon (CB), Walker Little (OL), Jacob Hollister (TE), Jordan Smith (DE), Adam Gotsis (DL), Jay Tufele (DL)

Texans: Deshaun Watson (QB), Lonnie Johnson (CB), Kevin Pierre-Louis (LB), Jimmy Moreland (CB), Scottie Phillips (RB), Jon Greenard (DL), Anthony Miller (WR)

Culley’s first offseason as a head coach has been no picnic. He takes over not only after the team failed to make the playoffs last year, but also when their franchise quarterback’s future is in peril. Deshaun Watson, the Texans’ 25-year old pro bowl QB will miss an indefinite amount of time as he stands accused of sexual assault by 22 woman. Culley named veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor the team’s starting quarterback. 

The Jaguars are 3-point favorites against the Texans. The over/under is 44.5. The 2021 NFL season marks the league’s first 17-game regular season schedule.

Jaguars vs Texans live streams in the US

In the US, Jaguars vs Texans is going to be broadcast on CBS, which is available with most cable packages and on one of our favorite streaming services: fuboTV. 

The game starts at 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT on Sunday (Sept. 12).

You can get your local CBS network's NFL games via Paramount Plus, if you want.

The NFL game broadcast rights have stayed similar season over season. CBS gets AFC games on Sunday afternoons, FOX has the NFC games, NBC has Sunday Night Football and some Thursday night football, while ESPN has Monday Night Football. Amazon Prime Video has some Thursday Night Football games, while the NFL Network will continue to offer a bunch of games throughout the year. 

So, that makes it really easy to recommend where cord-cutters should turn to watch the NFL season: Fubo TV. Built for all things sports, Fubo has all three of those local broadcasters, plus ESPN and NFL Network. That's why it's one of the best streaming services.

Sling TV doesn't have CBS (not without AirTV at least), so while that's one of our favorite services, it's not ideal for football fans.

Fubo.TV: One of the best streaming services with FOX, and the top pick for watching all of the 2021 NFL live streams, Fubo has all of the right network channels and the two cable channels you don't want to go without. Who needs cable? Not Fubo subscribers. It's got a 7-day free trial so you don't need to pay up front.
