The Titans started out hot for once, only to see things crumble pretty quickly. Houston poured it on after the first quarter, putting the Titans’ playoff hopes in serious jeopardy. Here’s how it played out.
Fast start for the Titans
The Titans got a gift on their opening drive, drawing a defensive pass interference call on Justin Reid. That gave them a 30+ yard bonus, putting them in striking distance early. The drive stalled quickly after, however. Ryan Succop got the Titans on the board with a 3-0 lead.
After a quick stop by the defense, Marcus Mariota came back with a quick strike to Jonnu Smith, who turned upfield and ran all the way to the endzone for six more.
