Official Texans @ Titans Game Thread, 11/21/2021

[Arky]

The 1-8 Texans hit the road to take on the 8-2 Tennessee Titans in an early game this Sunday. The Texans are coming off their bye week while the Titans squeezed by the Saints at home last week 23-21. The Titans have a 6 game win streak going.

Titans QB Ryan Tannehill is having a so-so year: 2358 yards, 7.5 avg, 12 TDs, 8 INTs, 90.7 rating. With the loss of Derrick Henry, RB duties will probably be split among Jeremy McNichols, D'onta Foreman and Adrian Peterson. Top receiver is AJ Brown (567 yds) followed by Julio Jones (336 yds.).

Teams usually do well coming off a bye but we're talking about the Texans here. If Texan QB Tyrod Taylor can rebound from his poor performance against the Dolphins two weeks ago, they might be able to keep it close. However, the Titans have the better personnel and the stronger team.
