JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Houston Texans have been dreadful on the road this season, losing lopsided games at New England, Minnesota and Denver.Coach Bill OBriens team found the end zone just once in those cities, getting outscored by a combined 64 points.The Texans (5-3) probably need to reverse the trend to stay on top in the watered-down AFC South. It should help playing at Jacksonville, where the Jaguars (2-6) are 0-3 at home in 2016.This much is certain: One of them will end a streak Sunday.You got to put the bad games behind you and move on, Texans receiver DeAndre Hopkins said.Houston plays four of its next five away from home, so finding better road results could be huge in the second half of the season. Players and coaches believe getting off to quicker starts would help.The Texans trailed 10-0 in the first half against the Patriots, 24-0 against the Vikings, and 14-6 against the Broncos. Left tackle Duane Brown said the team needs to bring a lot of energy to change its fortunes.I think thats been our kind of Achilles heel this season, Brown said. I think having energy and starting fast, everything else will fall into place. I think the execution will fall into place and just keeping it going, you know, for four quarters.The Jaguars have gotten little going at home this season. Although they dropped close games to Green Bay and Baltimore in September, they were blown out 33-16 by Oakland in their lone game at EverBank Field since. They return Sunday having lost three consecutive games and face mounting speculation about coach Gus Bradleys job security. Bradley is 14-42 in 3 + seasons in Jacksonville and has fallen well short of expectations this year.Bradley fired offensive coordinator Greg Olson on Oct. 29, and the team responded with a better performance at Kansas City last week. The Chiefs won 19-14, thanks mostly to Jacksonvilles four turnovers and several missed opportunities.Few teams could use a victory as badly as Bradley and the Jaguars, especially at home.If were going to get this turned around, it needs to start now, tight end Marcedes Lewis said. Were capable of getting on a roll, but the only way to do that is to get that first one and go from there.Here are some other things to know about the Texans and Jaguars:OPENING DRIVE: The Jaguars havent scored a touchdown on their opening drive since Week 2 of last season. The 22-game stretch without an opening-possession TD is the longest in the NFL.MILLERS HEALTH: Houston RB Lamar Miller (bruised shoulder) is feeling better following the teams bye week. Miller, who ranks seventh in the NFL with 637 yards rushing, hopes to be back to full strength against the Jaguars. Im just getting a lot of treatment right now, he said. Just trying to get better. If not, Alfred Blue would fill in again. Blue has 104 yards rushing in Houstons last two games.TURNOVER DROUGHT: Jacksonville hasnt forced or even lucked into a turnover in nearly five games. The drought, which stands at more than 289 minutes of game time, should have ended last week at Kansas City, but defensive backs Prince Amukamara and Tashaun Gipson collided while trying to catch a badly overthrown ball. The Jags have a league-low five takeaways, partly because they trail in most games and lack a consistent pass rush. I think theyre itching for a takeaway, defensive coordinator Todd Wash said. But at the same time, we cant press.CLOWNEYS IMPACT: Texans DE Jadeveon Clowney is having the best year of his short career after struggling to contribute in his first two injury-plagued seasons. The top overall pick in the 2014 draft is sixth in the NFL with a career-high nine tackles for losses. He also has three sacks, 30 tackles and 10 quarterback hurries. Its really cool to see him now, I mean, as far as playing the run, the pass, his effort, and hes really coming into his own, Jaguars coach Gus Bradley said.FAIR CATCH? After three fumbled punts in as many games, the Jaguars are expected to go back to receiver Rashad Greene as the return man Sunday. Greene was inactive the last two games. Greene, Marqise Lee and Bryan Walters each fumbled punts in the last three games. Were looking at everything, Bradley said. I think its good to have competition within, but probably have a pretty good idea the way were going to go.---AP Sports Writer Kristie Rieken in Houston contributed to this report.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Swell Wood Water Bottle . -- Aldon Smith believes he is on the path to being sober for good.

LOUIS -- A federal judge has ruled that the NFLs Rams must grant season tickets to some people who bought personal seat licenses while the team was still in St. Louis, even though the team is now in Los Angeles.U.S. District Judge Stephen Limbaugh Jr. also said Wednesday that the Rams must refund deposits for other people who bought PSLs in St. Louis. About 46,000 people had PSLs, which give the holder the right to purchase season tickets, for the St. Louis Rams, some at a cost of up to $1,000.David Bohm, attorney for some of the plaintiffs, said the ruling was vindication for St. Louis PSL holders.The Rams tried to exit without making any payments to any of the PSL holders, Bohm said. They had no obligation to the fans who supported this team for 20 years. The judge found they did owe an obligation.In January, NFL owners approved the Rams move back to Los Angeles after 21 seasons in St. Louis. It wasnt immediately clear whether the Rams would appeal. A team spokeswoman declined comment, citing the ongoing litigation. Messages left with team attorneys were not returned.The Rams argued that their movee to LA terminated PSL agreements sold in St.dddddddddddd. Louis. PSL holders contended that not only were the licenses still valid, but that they also had the right for season tickets in Los Angeles.Though St. Louis-area fans might seem unlikely to travel nearly 2,000 miles (3,200 kilometers) for football games, resale of PSLs or season tickets could be lucrative once a planned $2 billion stadium in Inglewood, California, is ready in 2019.Limbaughs ruling differentiates between PSL contracts sold by the Rams directly, and those sold by their ticketing agent, FANS Inc.The FANS contract states that a relocation of the team terminates the contract. The judge ruled those PSL holders have the right to refunds, but no rights to season tickets or PSLs in Los Angeles.But contracts sold directly by the team do not state that the PSL agreement ends due to relocation, Limbaugh said.The Los Angeles Rams, who are playing in the Coliseum until the new stadium is ready, are 1-1 this season.
