The Texans will be hoping for more treats than tricks when they make the trip to East Rutherford, New Jersey to take on Aaron Rodgers and the Jets tonight for a Halloween Thursday Night Football matchup. With C.J. Stroud at the helm, Houston is off to a 6-2 start and has a two-game lead atop the AFC South. They’re coming off a 23-20 win divisional win over the Colts (one that likely contributed to Indianapolis’ decision to bench Anthony Richardson) and have won four of their last five.

But the Texans are expected to be without their top receivers tonight, with Nico Collins (hamstring) and Stefon Diggs (knee) both on IR. While the Jets have struggled mightily this year (they enter this matchup 2-6 with losses in their last five games, including three straight since firing head coach Robert Saleh) they have slightly easier task taking on the depleted Texans on home turf. They’re hoping to rebound from a 25-22 loss to the Patriots in Week 8, after which interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich described the team’s current situation as “a moment of darkness”.

The Jets began this season under Rodgers’ leadership with the lofty goal of ending the longest active NFL playoff drought (it’s been 13 seasons since the team last made it to the playoffs). But they enter Week 9 last place in the AFC North, an even worse record than last season, when they were 4-4 through eight games with Zach Wilson under center after Rodgers’ torn Achilles. For more on how to watch tonight’s game, as well as the full Week 9 NFL schedule, see below.
