The Tennessee Titans had a chance to hurt the playoff hopes of one of their division rivals in Week 17 but failed to do so after dropping the contest against the Houston Texans, 26-3.
With the win, the Texans kept pace with both the Jacksonville Jaguars and Indianapolis Colts. The Jaguars beat the Carolina Panthers, 26-0, while the Colts emerged victorious over the Las Vegas Raiders, 23-20.
Despite having the same 9-7 record, the Jaguars remain atop the division over the Colts and Texans thanks to tie-breaker and can wrap up the AFC South in Week 18 with a win over the Titans at Nissan Stadium on Sunday.
However, if the Jags were to lose to Tennessee, the AFC South would come down to the matchup between Houston and Indianapolis, which will take place at Lucas Oil Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Now, a look at the AFC South standings going into the final week of the 2023 campaign.
