Injuries were eventually going to catch up with the Titans — and they did today at home against the 1-8 Houston Texans.
It was a predictably slow start for the 8-2 Tennessee Titans. Once again, no Derrick Henry, no Julio Jones — even Jeremy McNichols was forced to miss this one. That put all the pressure squarely on the shoulders of Ryan Tannehill, on what proved to be a nasty, rainy day in Nashville.
The Texans, who quite literally have punted the 2021 season, jumped out to a 12-0 lead. They capitalized on a Tannehill interception, and then put together a long touchdown drive to really take command of this game.
