The Tennessee Titans continued their trend of winning ugly games during a Week 8 contest against the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium.
As has been the case all season long, the Titans couldn’t buy themselves passing yards, partly because rookie quarterback Malik Willis struggled during his first NFL start.
Fortunately for Tennessee, Derrick Henry torched Houston’s defense to the tune of 219 yards and two scores, and the Titans ran for an astounding 314 yards overall, the most any team has rushed for in a game this season.
But Henry wasn’t the only one who dominated; the Titans saw arguably their best defensive performance of the season on Sunday, as the front-seven did its thing and the secondary was excellent in coverage.
As we do every week, let’s dig through the game and see what some of the biggest takeaways were from the Titans’ latest win that keeps them in first place and has them in the No. 2 seed in the conference.
