The Tennessee Titans are just one day away from their final road game of the 2023 season when they travel to Houston to take on the Texans.
The Titans are playing for pride at this point and will try to win their first division game since Oct. 30, 2022, when they beat the Texans, 17-10.
Meanwhile, the Texans are fighting for a playoff spot as they sit in the No. 8 spot in the conference and third place in the AFC South due to tie-breaker.
These two teams met earlier this year, resulting in a 19-16 victory for the Texans. Houston quarterback C.J. Stroud was inactive that day due to a concussion injury he suffered the week prior.
Titans quarterback Will Levis did play, but he suffered an ankle injury late in the game and was unable to finish the contest. He was also forced to miss the Week 16 game against the Seattle Seahawks.
This time around, both teams are set to play both of their talented rookie quarterbacks as they face each other for the first of what could be many intriguing matchups over the next decade.
That is just one of the many individual battles I will be discussing in today’s key matchups article. To get a more in-depth breakdown of the four specific battles I’ll be keeping a close eye on, scroll down below.
