The Tennessee Titans managed a huge upset victory over a division rival in the Houston Texans on Sunday, a game they were not expected to win. Heading into the matchup, the Texans were 7-4 and the Titans were 2-8. The Texans are building on last season’s success behind C.J. Stroud, and the Titans are in the beginning stages of a rebuild.
But no one told the Titans they weren’t supposed to win on Sunday, and they came out swinging. It was a hard-fought battle with a lot of back and forth, mistakes by both teams, and a couple of big plays, but what ultimately decided the game was a missed field goal and a quarterback mistake that led to a safety.
For the Titans, it was more than just a win, it was a much-needed morale boost that showed the players that what they are doing is working. What Brian Callahan and his staff have planned is working. It took longer than anticipated to see these results, but they’re getting there and there is hope around the organization.
As we enter Week 13, here’s a look at where the Titans place in a multitude of power rankings.
