The Tennessee Titans were the first dog out of the gate, going up 10-0 thanks to a defensive pass interference penalty on Justin Reid, and a dump off to Jonnu Smith that became a 61 yard touchdown after Tyrann Mathieu turned and chased, giving the center of the field open. Down, instead of up early, the Texans faced adversity for the first time in forever. They were forced to actually do something on offense. And that they did. Play action was used to create some easier passes. They hammered Lamar Miller on the leftside of the line of scrimmage and flirted with 300 rushing yards, thanks to a 97 yard Lamar Miller touchdown run.
