The Houston Texans were a 10.5 point underdog entering this game. They set out to prove the NFL is Any Given Sunday, especially against a Tennessee Titans team that has been knocked around by injuries. Nate Davis, David Long, Derrick Henry, Julio Jones, Bud Dupree, Caleb Farley, and Rashaan Evans are all out. A.J. Brown busted a hand, and then his chest. The Texans had an opening, and they busted it open. The eight game losing streak is over.
In the first half, the Texans were outgained, but shut out the Titans. Tennessee was 1/5 on third downs and 0-1 on fourth downs at one point.
