First Quarter


The opening quarter set the tone for what would be a commanding performance by the Texans. Quarterback C.J. Stroud showcased his precision passing, completing 22 of his 28 attempts for a total of 233 yards and two touchdowns without any interceptions. His longest completion was an impressive 37-yard pass to Nico Collins, who finished with four receptions for 79 yards.

As the second quarter unfolded, Woody Marks made significant contributions on the ground, rushing for a total of 69 yards on 17 attempts and scoring one touchdown with an impressive longest run of 18 yards. The Texans' defense also shone brightly in this period, forcing three three-and-outs from their opponents and maintaining pressure on Tennessee's offense.


Third Quarter


In the third quarter, Danielle Hunter led Houston's defensive efforts with two sacks and three quarterback hits, disrupting any momentum that Tennessee attempted to build. Derek Stingley added an interception return of 20 yards which further stifled any offensive progress from Two-Tone Blue.


Fourth Quarter


The final quarter saw Ka'imi Fairbairn successfully convert two field goals out of three attempts, including one from as far as 47 yards out. The special teams unit also contributed effectively; Tommy Townsend punted thrice averaging over forty-four yards per punt while placing two inside Tennessee’s twenty-yard line.


Houston’s head coach expressed satisfaction in his post-game reaction about how well both sides executed their roles throughout all quarters leading up towards this shutout victory against division rivals - "game-changing plays Houston Texans vs Tennessee Titans."
