Texans vs. Titans: Time, TV schedule and streaming info for Week 17

The Houston Texans and Tennessee Titans meet for a Week 17 rematch at NRG Stadium. Find out how to catch the game here.

They won and they are in.

The Houston Texans took care of business 23-20 over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 16. Even if they didn’t, the Tennessee Titans fell to the New Orleans Saints 38-28, which was another way for the Texans to win the AFC South.

For the Texans, they don’t need to beat the Titans. In fact, beating the Titans has no impact on their chances to get out of wild-card weekend (Jan. 4-5); they are locked in as the Baltimore Ravens and New England Patriots are set to have the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds. All winning would do, plus the Kansas City Chiefs losing, is set them up with a bout with either the Titans, Pittsburgh Steelers, or Oakland Raiders and avoid playing the Buffalo Bills, who are slated to be the No. 5 seed, the highest wild-card. It isn’t worth the risk of injury to key contributors.

The Titans need to beat the Texans to secure the sixth and final wild-card spot. If they lose, then they would have to hope for the Steelers to lose and the Indianapolis Colts to lose to the Jacksonville Jaguars. There is a scenario where Pittsburgh is the No. 6 seed if the Titans lose, the Colts win, and the Raiders lose. That is the fun of the last week of the regular season.

Last time these two teams met was actually the last time the Baltimore Ravens lost a game in the NFL. This is the rematch that Lamar Jackon and the Ravens have been waiting for. Baltimore will be heading to Cleveland this time around for some revenge on the shores of Lake Erie.

NFL Football: Baltimore Ravens (-10) at Cleveland Browns

  • Date: Sunday, December 22nd
  • Kickoff: 1:00 p.m. ET
  • TV Channel: CBS
  • Live Stream: CBS All Access (Try it FREE now)

Baltimore looks to clinch home-field advantage with a win today in Cleveland. With the Ravens holding the top spot in the AFC at 12-2, they look for some revenge after their week four loss to the Browns. Lamar Jackson is the heavy favorite for NFL MVP and will want to show his quickness again today with a performance against a struggling Browns team.

Cleveland acquired some serious talent this past offseason and while on paper they looked like one of the best teams in the league, it hasn’t panned out. Freddie Kitchens job is on the line as he tries to get to more out of his players like Odell Beckham, Jarvis Landry, and Baker Mayfield. They are already out of the playoffs but now comes time for job security in this business of a league.

Prediction: Baltimore will be looking for some revenge from their 40-25 shellacking in week four of the season. The spread has gone from (-7) to (-10) which shows the sharps money is on the Ravens. I think this will be a different type of game than last time against the Browns. Take the Ravens to cover against a team that is trying to hold on for dear life. Ravens (-10)

The Baltimore Ravens last loss was in Week Four against the Browns in a 45-20 contest at home. Since then the Ravens have rattled off 10 straight victories and look to be one of the favorites to make Super Bowl LIV in Miami. Can Cleveland stop the Ravens in their tracks at and complete the season sweep of its divisional rival? It won’t be easy against one of the best offenses in the NFL.

Lamar Jackson continued to dazzle in a 42-21 victory at home vs. Jets, so much so that he earned AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors. Jackson completed 15 of 23 passes for 212 yards and five touchdowns. On the ground, he recorded eight carries for 86 yards and another score. The key to stopping the Ravens offense is stopping Jackson. 

Cleveland isn’t mathematically eliminated with its 6-8 record, but it needs to defeat the Ravens and then win the final contest of the year against the Bengals to have a fighting chance to make the playoffs. The Browns took a 38-24 loss last weekend to the Cardinals on the road. Baker Mayfield threw for 247 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception, while Nick Chubb continued to show why he is one of the best running backs this season with 127 yards and one score. Odell Beckham Jr. led the team with eight catches for 66 yards.

Last weekend the Browns gave up over 200 yards rushing to Arizona. Kenyan Drake had a monster game with four touchdowns and a total of 137 yards rushing. Cleveland is ranked 27th in rushing yards allowed (135.2 YPG) and with the Ravens averaging 202.1 YPG on the ground, it could be a long afternoon.

The Texans and Titans with identical 8-5 records collide Sunday afternoon with the AFC South title on the line. Tennessee has the home-field advantage with the game being played at Nissan Stadium. That’s a big deal because the home team has won the last five matchups.

Houston dethroned the defending Super Bowl Champion Patriots 28-22 two weeks ago at home but lost this past weekend 38-24 to the Denver Broncos. It begs the question, despite being in first place in the AFC South, are the Texans a top tier team? Deshaun Watson threw the ball 50 times last weekend for a total of 292 yards, one touchdown, two interceptions, and was sacked three times. The offensive line will have to do a better job of protecting him against the Titans. Another problem in last week’s loss was turnovers. In addition to the two interceptions, the Broncos Kareem Jackson also returned a fumble 70 yards for a touchdown. Carlos Hyde led the team in rushing with 73 yards, while DeAndre Hopkins continues to show why he is one of the best wide receivers in the league with seven catches for 120 yards and one touchdown.  Can they utilize Hyde and the run game to set up Watson and the passing attack? That will be key to their success.

Defensively, the Texans struggled against the Broncos. Drew Lock, in his second career start, completed 22 of 27 passes for 309 yards and three touchdowns. All three of those came in the first half. Ryan Tannehill has been dominant since being put back in the starting quarterback role and has one of the best backs in the league in Derrick Henry if he decides to hand it off. Zach Cunningham has stepped up in the absence of J.J. Watt and is fifth in the NFL with 119 tackles.

The Titans have won five of their last six games and return home after back-to-back road games. Last weekend, they defeated the Oakland Raiders 42-21. Tannehill threw for 391 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. The performance was a season-high in yards and tied for the second-most touchdowns in a game. Tannehill’s favorite target was wideout A.J. Brown, who reeled in five catches for a season-high 153 yards and two touchdowns. They can also run the ball effectively with Henry, who has tallied over 100 yards in his last four games. Henry has 1,243 yards on the season, second in the NFL behind only Nick Chubb of Cleveland.

 

Tennessee is ranked 10th in the NFL in points allowed and faces a tough test in the Texans, who boast a dual-threat quarterback in Watson, a well-rounded back in Hyde and an All-Pro receiver in Hopkins. Defensively, the Texans need to get after Watson and shut down the running game early. Logan Ryan is a tackling machine at linebacker and Kevin Byard is tied for second in the NFL with four interceptions.

Texans vs. Titans: Time, TV schedule and streaming info for Week 15

The Houston Texans and Tennessee Titans face off for a Week 15 encounter. Find out how to catch the game.

The Houston Texans and Tennessee Titans commence their season series Sunday at noon CT at Nissan Stadium. The two-game set to be played over the final three weeks of the season essentially boils down the most important struggle for AFC South supremacy as both clubs are 8-5 and the winner will get undisputed first place in the division with a win.

Tennessee has found a resurgence thanks to quarterback Ryan Tannehill’s insertion into the starting lineup. Once 2-4 and on pace to get a view from the couch come playoff time, the Titans have rebounded with a 6-1 record and currently riding a four-game winning streak. Tennessee has been revitalized, and now a club some thought wouldn’t be in the conversation for the AFC South are about to get admin privileges.

The 2019 Texans haven’t been as inconsistent as other versions of the team, but they did lose momentum when they couldn’t follow up a 28-22 win over the New England Patriots with another victory. Instead, they allowed the 4-8 Denver Broncos, starting Drew Lock in his first career road game, to blast them 38-24 with a 31-3 halftime score. All of the gains the Texans made over their three-game homestand, momentum wise, were essentially obliterated. Now, they will have to recapture that momentum as they seek to beat the Titans at Nissan Stadium, a feat not accomplished since 2015.

A rematch of last season’s AFC Championship Game will take center stage in Week 14, as the Kansas City Chiefs head to New England to take on the Patriots. With both teams looking to improve their playoff positioning, the stakes will be high between them again, even if a Super Bowl berth isn’t on the line this time around.

The Chiefs enter this clash having secured a key division win their last time out. They throttled the Oakland Raiders, 40-9, to give themselves some breathing room atop the AFC West. Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs offense only managed 259 total yards for the game, but their defense forced three turnovers that put the Chiefs in easy scoring positions throughout the game. Against the Patriots, turnovers may not come as easily and Mahomes will need to be much sharper.

New England suffered its second loss of the season last week, falling 28-22 to the Houston Texans. The Patriots allowed DeShaun Watson to throw for three touchdown passes, as the Texans went ahead 28-9 in the game and were able to coast the rest of the way to victory. The Patriots have struggled against Lamar Jackson and Watson this season, both dual-threat quarterbacks, and will need to tighten up their defense against a third mobile quarterback in Mahomes if they want to avoid another defeat.

The Pittsburgh Steelers (7-5) look to keep their wild card hopes alive against the Arizona Cardinals (3-8-1) Sunday afternoon. Pittsburgh has won the last three matchups, including a 25-13 victory the last time these two teams met in 2015 and a 27-23 Steelers win in Super Bowl XLII.

Steelers vs. Cardinals

  • When: Sunday, December 8

  • TV: CBS
  • Live Stream: fuboTV (watch for free)

As the calendar moves to December, the final month of the NFL regular season, the Pittsburgh Steelers realize they must continue their playoff push. The Steelers have won two in a row and six of their last seven games. Devlin Hodges completed 14 of 21 passes for 212 yards, one touchdown and one interception in a 20-13 win over the Browns last weekend. Rookie Benny Snell Jr. rushed for 63 yards and one score in the absence of James Conner. James Washington stepped in as the team’s No. 1 receiver with JuJu Smith-Schuster sidelined and reeled in four catches and one touchdown. The Steelers should be getting Conner and Schuster back shortly, as well as starting center Maurkice Pouncey who was suspended two games for his role in the brawl vs. Browns two weeks ago. 

The Steelers defense has been red hot as well. They currently rank fifth in total defense with opponents averaging 317.2 YPG. Last weekend against the Browns, Pittsburgh recorded five sacks and one interception. Rookie Devin Bush Jr. led the team with seven tackles, while Alvin Dupree added six tackles and one-and-a-half sacks. Minkah Fitzpatrick has turned out to be a great acquisition after being acquired from the Dolphins. Fitzpatrick is a beast in the secondary and is tied for the league lead with five interceptions this season.

Arizona has lost five in a row, including a 34-7 thumping at home against the Rams. Once again, the offense struggled. Kyler Murray threw for 163 yards and one interception while adding 28 yards rushing and a score. Kenyan Drake led all rushers with 31 yards. The team has weapons on the offensive side of the ball, which is obvious after posting 54 points in two games against the 49ers and 27 points against Tampa Bay. Murray was the No. 1 overall pick for a reason. He can beat you with his arm and with his legs, but he needs to stay consistent and not turn the ball over.

The defense has been an issue for the Cardinals this season. They rank last in the NFL in yards allowed (426.3) and passing yards allowed (307.5) and are second-to-last in points allowed (29.2). This was evident against the Rams, who produced over 500 yards of total offense with 424 yards coming through the air.

We have one of the biggest games of the weekend on our hands with the 10-2 Baltimore Ravens coming to Orchard Park, NY to take on the 9-2 Buffalo Bills. Two second-year quarterbacks looking to excel in the next level of football with both teams looking to stop Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson.

NFL Football: Baltimore Ravens (-6) at Buffalo Bills

  • Date: Sunday, December 8th
  • Kickoff: 1:00 p.m. ET
  • TV Channel: CBS
  • Live Stream: CBS All Access (Try it FREE now)
Baltimore is coming off a tough matchup with San Francisco last Sunday with a 20-17 win at home while Buffalo went on the road to Dallas and knocked off the Cowboys 26-15. The real question is will the Buffalo Bills be one of the first teams to stop Lamar and the troops. We all know that the Ravens are going to run the ball and while averaging at least five yards per carry there is no reason why they wouldn’t continue the ground and pound running style.
The Buffalo Bills defense is not one to overlook and will look to stop Lamar and the Ravens with their potent offense. Tremaine Edmunds and Matt Milano will be ready to shadow Lamar and hope to show the world who the Buffalo Bills are.

Prediction: Analyst Ryan Brandenburger thinks the game will be close but isn’t sure that Buffalo’s defense can stop Lamar Jackson. If the Bills defense stops the Ravens the first few possessions then the Bills have a shot. Take the under 44 and the Ravens will cover the -6 spread in this contest with a 27-20 victory.
