C.J. Stroud outduels Trevor Lawrence as Texans take down Jaguars

Trevor Lawrence, who entered Jacksonville’s sixth game of the season ranking top 10 in completion percentage, passing touchdowns and passer rating, was his usual excellent self, going 24-of-41 passing for 306 yards, four touchdowns and an interception. But Lawrence was outdueled by Houston’s C.J. Stroud. The third-year quarterback was on fire Sunday, completing 24-of-34 pass attempts for 312 yards and three touchdowns, as well as one interception. Behind Stroud’s elite effort and a game-winning 49-yard field goal by Ka’imi Fairbairn, the Texans (2-4) bested the Jaguars (4-2) 34-31 at London’s Wembley Stadium. It marked the first time that Jacksonville allowed 21-plus points in a regular-season game since Nov. 23, 2025.

Gainesville to get a second taste of Honduras

Mayen and Matamoros, both 26, founded Tela in 2024 to fill the void of Honduran food they’d found upon coming to the U.S. for college. After Matamoros graduated from Florida State University and Mayen graduated from Bentley University in Massachusetts, they decided to bring a taste of Honduras to the States. 


The term "fake news" is often used by people to label reporting that they do not like or agree with, but who gets the final say in determining what fake news and what is not.

OPINION: “Fake news” has lost its meaning

With the rise of social media, news distribution has heavily increased. Instead of waiting to get the newspaper delivered to your doorstep, news is now easily accessible on any digital device. But with the overwhelming amount of news circulating every digital platform, it’s wise to approach stories with skepticism. However, automatically labeling reporting you don’t like as “fake news” is imprudent.
