The Houston Texans’ season comes to a merciful end as they host the Tennessee Titans Sunday afternoon for Week 18 at NRG Stadium.
There is still plenty to play for. If the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Denver Broncos on Saturday afternoon, they will have possession of the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs. The AFC road to the Super Bowl will go through Arrowhead Stadium.
However, the Titans have the tiebreaker over the Chiefs, and winning in Week 18 would restore the No. 1 seed to Tennessee.
To put simply, if the Chiefs win, the Titans will play their starters. If the Chiefs lose, Tennessee will rest their starters as they will have the conference’s only postseason bye week.
For the Texans, it provides an opportunity to sweep the Titans for the first time since 2015. Rookie quarterback Davis Mills can also earn his third win of the season, Deshaun Watson for the second-most wins by a rookie quarterback. David Carr will always be on top with his four from the 2002 season.
