Overview

  • Houston shut out Tennessee 26-0, dropping the Titans to 0-4 and extending their losing streak to 10 games in their first shutout since 2019.
  • No. 1 pick Cam Ward went 10-of-26 for 108 yards with an interception and said the Titans are "ass" as he called for the team, including himself, to "lock in."
  • In the first game with quarterbacks coach Bo Hardegree calling plays, the offense gained 175 yards, never reached the red zone, and finished 2-for-12 on third and fourth downs.
  • Kicker Joey Slye missed field goals from 41 and 43 yards in the first half, attempts that would have sent the game to halftime tied 6-6.
  • A second-and-33 conversion allowed by L'Jarius Sneed prolonged a 13-play Texans touchdown drive before Houston pulled away in the fourth quarter, intensifying scrutiny of Callahan, now 3-18 as head coach.
