Much like the Houston Texans' Week 2 game against the Oakland Raiders, this game never felt like it was in doubt. The Texans dominated their helpless division rivals from beginning to end to even their record at 4-4 at the halfway point of the season.
The Texans gained 11 more first downs, held the ball for 11 more minutes and were plus-two in turnovers; hard to lose when you win each of those stat categories.
The game played out in a very predictable manner with both J.J. Watt and Arian Foster playing extremely well, while the Tennessee Titans' rookie quarterback—who made his first career start—looked overmatched for most of the game.
It seemed like the Texans defense relaxed a little bit after taking a three-score lead which resulted in some late points being scored by the Titans, but the points were meaningless, and the game wasn't as close as even the 16-point margin might indicate.
Have the Texans turned a corner or improved as a team after snapping their three-game losing streak? Hard to tell considering the strength of the competition; a big test awaits them at home next week against the Philadelphia Eagles.
