The Houston Texans are rolling early in their Week 17 match with the Tennessee Titans.
Quarterback C.J. Stroud led the team on two scoring drives to take a 10-0 lead and the defense came up huge to push the lead to 17-0 early in the second quarter. Defensive end Jerry Hughes sacked and forced a Will Levis fumble that defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins scooped up for a 13-yard touchdown.

The Texans need this win to keep their playoff hopes alive. A victory in Week 17 could set up a win-and-in postseason scenario for Houston against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 18.
