Houston Texans vs Tennessee Titans | Week 11 Game Preview

Houston Texans vs Tennessee Titans | Week 11 Game Preview

Tennessee Titans at home after a week of R and R. Fans getting the Lumen job done on them so they can keep coming to games to see a one- win team. So maybe they won’t remember when they go home that they saw the Houston Texans come to town who are very much alive and kicking in 2025. He’s sacked and it’s over. What a way to end it. Wow. So despite Houston giving up 29 points to Jacksonville last week, they remain number one in points per game allowed for 2025, which sets them up for a game between the team last in scoring and the number one scoring defense, which when they’ve met in week 10 or later, the top D team has won the last 16 straight games. He’s hit hard and the ball is free. getting in there and making Lawrence’s life miserable by an average margin of 19.5 points. Tennessee just has to conjure up some 1948 Boston Yanks mojo. Yeah, the 48 Yanks, the last putrid offense to take out the league’s best defense. Philadelphia Eagles, the lone team to fall victim to that scenario. Tennessee’s offense only mustering 14 points per game, have only topped 20 points once all year. And that was a 22-point outing. 0 for four on third downs. They do quick snap it. Pressures come and Henley takes him down. And this is round two of Texans Titans. Meeting one took place week four. Very symbolic. Houston’s defense shut out Tennesseeey’s offense 26 to0 the final. Finds another seam and off the ricochet. It’s intercepted. Oh, there’s more. What? So we can jam like eight ads into a fiveminute video. I thought we would just sit back and enjoy an old clip between the two and roll the predictions page with 10 bullheads on it. Okay, fine. It says here, Cam Ward, 108 yards a pick, a 35 rating in that loss to Houston. He has the lowest rating in the league, so hasn’t gotten much better interceptions in six of his last seven games. They do go for it on fourth and goal. Ward to the end zone. Intercepted. And that sets up a matchup between the quarterback with the lowest rate in the NFL and the secondary holding quarterbacks to the lowest rating in the NFL. Houston secondary held Trevor Lawrence to a 74 rating. Just 158 yds picked him off and stepping in front for the pick. Stingley reads it perfectly. Oh man, the pass rush. Sitch doesn’t get better. Will Anderson on one side made it home for the fourth straight game. leads the team with seven visits. On the other side, Denil Hunter was missing mom. Hadn’t seen her in a month, made up for it with three and a half trips to the CASA. Denil Hunter, he looks like a cyborg. He plays like a cyborg. Five sacks on just 23 pass attempts. And now they go after Ward. Knows the grass the way Chich and Chong do. Face planted into it 38 times. No one has taken more sacks. caught from behind and Denil Hunter off the blind side. Texans DBs gave up 41 yards to Jacobe Meyers. He was the high. Tennessee’s top receiver in 2025 under three receptions per game. A dude who’s only played six games. Calvin Ridley averaging 48 per contest. As Ward fires, Calvin Ridley makes the catch, takes it out to midfield. Pard and Spears, their backfield duo. Tai more efficient than Tony at 5.1 a carry. Pard used more at 53 yards per game. Pard hit in the back field. He keeps his bearings though and then pounds his way to midfield against a top five team at stopping backs. Held Travis Eten hitting at five a carry before meeting up with Houston to 3.6 a run. Denil Hunters just blows up this play deep in the back field before it has a chance to get going. So, it seems to be there’s pressure on Tennesseee’s defense to keep it a lowscoring affair. By their own merits, that could be difficult, giving up 28 a game. Now heads toward the end zone. Slides in safely. Secondary has been second to lots of teams allowing over 70% of passes to be completed, giving up a 104 rate, close to eight yards per attempt. If you don’t know, those are not good. Going to the end zone for John. He’s got it. Do they get CJ Straoud this week? He missed last week with a concussion. Or Davis Mills? Does it matter? Mills led a dramatic lateg game comeback win, throwing for over 290 yards, two TDs. Plus, he ran in the gamewinner. Going to run looking for the pylon. He’s got the angle. Houston’s offense putting up 30 points of the 36 they scored. The second most they’ve put up in 2025. 10 for 15 on third down, four for five in the red zone. They’ve overcome a couple of their boogeymen so far today. They scored on the goal line here. They’re getting in in the red zone. Tennessee’s front does at least have decent pass rush numbers. But they also just said bye Felicia to Draymond Jones. But 22 sacks isn’t bad. So I say show us a sack. We have to find some silver linings in this playbook. Under pressure again. He’s sacked again. Jiad Ward eats him for lunch. Mills only took two sacks on 45 pass attempts. They can’t complain. Mills found Jaylen Null for 35 yards. Jaden Higgins for 42. Pocket holds up. Mills to the end zone. Higgins has got it for the touchdown. Higgins with seven targets. Dalton Schultz and Nico Collins with 11 and 15 respectively. Collins 136 yds to lead the way. Broke off a 54 y. Throw downfield. Crowd is down there. Catch is made. Nico Collins and Schultz seven catches 53 yards and a touchdown. He’s warmed up their last five. Hooks a pass back in the end zone. Caught. Touchdown. Dalton Schultz and Nico Collins with 12 and 15 respectively. Houston’s inconsistent run game could find some traction versus Tennessee’s run defense, which has given up over 140 yards a game, 4.9 yards per carry allowed to running backs specifically. Here’s Genty. Cuts to the outside, has a first down and more. Houston has their Woody Chub combo meal. Have to be 18 or older to purchase, I think. Nick just five carries versus Jacksonville. But how about 47 yards on 9.4 per Marks 14 attempts, 63 yards, 4.5 a run. He scored. Huge hole. Woody Marks. He cut it to the second level and beyond. Okay, now that you’ve clicked skip seven times, we come to the history lesson between Houston and Tennessee. Before we get to the predictions, I really hope I can talk Adam rank into taking Tennessee. Houston has won five of their last six over Tennessee. They are now one win away from tying the series all time. We hit on their highest scoring matchup from 2007. In our first preview of these two a few weeks back, Tennessee took it. They took the first five games they played them. Actually, 2004, the first time Houston got revenge against the team that abandoned their city. Hello everyone and welcome to the Coliseum in Nashville. It’ll be David Carr versus Steve McNair. Carr under pressure, hit fumbles. Both offenses were sloppy. David Carr lost a fumble and threw an interception. Steve McNair felt the pressure as well and he tossed four costly interceptions. Make or break right here. It’s now or never for the Tennessee Titans. Fourth down and two at the Houston four. McNair gets the snap. Hit as he throws. Intercepted. Taken by Coleman. Brings it out of the end zone and slides across the 10 yd line. And that’s going to do it. The Texans are going to take down Tennessee.
