Texans Take Down Titans In AFC South Battle

The Texans strengthened their playoff chances with a 26-3 takedown of the AFC South rival Tennessee Titans at NRG Stadium. C.J. Stroud completed 24-of-32 passes for 213 yards and one touchdown following a two-game absence. Brevin Jordan reeled in a 12-yard TD reception from Stroud in the second quarter, just seconds before defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins rumbled in for a 13-yard fumble return touchdown. Houston's defense recorded six sacks and Ka'imi Fairbairn was 4-for-4 on field goal attempts. The Texans are eighth in the AFC playoff race at 9-and-7. They will visit the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday night.
