The Texans have beaten the Titans before. Will they be able to do that again this weekend?
Derrick Henry has been a thorn in the Texans' side, with three career 200 yard games against them.If you were trying to slog through the rubble of the Houston Texans' disastrous fever dream of a season in 2021, and find some nuggets of positivity, the first place you would look would probably be the two games against the Tennessee Titans.
In the two games against the Titans, the Texans took home a Week 11 win, post bye week 22-13 win. At the time, it was their second win of the season, and would wind up being the final win Tyrod Taylor would garner as a Texans' QB. The Texans needed to win the turnover battle 5-0, but whatever! Then, in Week 18, at home, the Texans fought the Titans tooth and nail, in a 28-25 loss that saw the Texans fight back from a 21-0 deficit to make it a game.
Now, sitting at 1-4-1, the Texans need the Titans to be an elixir for them once again, as the Texans' season slowly slides into the NFL's sewer system. The Titans are the usual Mike Vrabel coached outfit they've been for five years now — built on the run game, trying to minimize Ryan Tannehill's mistakes, and winning in a generally ugly fashion. They lead the AFC South at 4-2.
For Sunday's game, an atypical late kickoff for a Texans home game, here are a few things to watch for:As I mentioned above, the main reason that the Texans were able to upset the Titans last season, a season in which the Titians went on to become the No. 1 overall seed in the AFC, was because of five turnovers committed by the Titans — four Tannehill picks and a muffed punt. Both teams this season are positive in the turnover margin, with the Titans at +3 and the Texans at +2.
