Texans End 0-4 Start With 26-3 Win Over Titans

A dominant defensive showing and a strong game from C.J. Stroud raise the stakes for his unresolved contract.

Overview

  • The Houston Texans snapped a four-game losing streak with a 26-3 road victory over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday that improved their record to 1-4.
  • Quarterback C.J. Stroud completed 26 of 34 passes for 261 yards, threw one touchdown, ran for another, and did not throw an interception in the game.
  • Houston’s defense forced two turnovers, recorded four sacks including three by Will Anderson Jr., and held Tennessee to a season-low 187 total yards.
  • Reports say the Texans completed a trade for Cardinals receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. after the win, a move intended to bolster the receiving corps ahead of their trip to London.
  • Running back David Montgomery left with a groin injury and did not return while safety Jalen Pitre exited with a shoulder issue, and both injuries are being evaluated for short-term availability.
