Tennessee Titans Overcome Houston Texans at NRG Stadium in Week 8 Showdown

The Tennessee Titans, with a record of 7-10, secured a victory over the Houston Texans, who now stand at 3-13-1. The final score was 17-10 in favor of the Titans.

In an impressive display at NRG Stadium, the Tennessee Titans demonstrated their ground game dominance against the Houston Texans. The Titans amassed a total of 354 yards, with a remarkable performance from their rushing attack that contributed to 314 yards. The team's average gain per play stood out at an impressive six yards.

The rushing department saw the Titans make significant strides as they averaged nearly seven yards per carry across their 45 attempts. Two rushing touchdowns were recorded, one being an explosive run resulting in a 29-yard touchdown. Their ability to move the chains was evident as they achieved thirteen first downs on the ground alone.

While the passing game was less prominent for Tennessee with only ten attempts and six completions totaling fifty-five yards, it played its part in balancing their offensive approach. Despite one interception thrown by Tennessee's quarterback and three sacks allowed for fifteen lost yards, they managed to maintain control throughout most of the game.

Defensively, Tennessee put up strong numbers with three sacks and eight tackles for loss totaling fifty-one negative yards against Houston. They also forced five three-and-outs and defended two passes while intercepting one pass without allowing any return yardage on it.

Special teams also contributed to Tennessee's win; although field goal kicking split even with one made and one missed attempt from within forty-nine yards range, extra points were flawless with two successful kicks out of two attempts.

Penalties seemed to have minimal impact on Tennessee's momentum as they incurred only six penalties costing them thirty-five yards throughout the contest. Their discipline helped them maintain possession for approximately thirty-five minutes during which they executed fifty-eight plays effectively managing both clock and field position.

Looking ahead after this hard-fought victory on enemy turf, fans can anticipate watching their team again when the Tennessee Titans visit Kansas City Chiefs at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on November sixth at eight twenty PM Eastern Time broadcasted live on NBC network channels.
