C.J. Stroud showcased an impressive performance by completing all six of his passes for 50 yards and a touchdown during the Texans’ opening drive, leading Houston to a crucial 23-14 victory over the Tennessee Titans. This win helped the Texans (10-7) snap a two-game losing streak and avoid being swept by their opponents. Houston's victory also marks their first win since clinching the AFC South title, placing them in a favorable position for the upcoming playoffs.

On the other hand, the Titans' loss deepens their struggles, finishing the season with a dismal 3-14 record, which guarantees them the first overall pick in the upcoming NFL draft. The game included notable performances, such as Dameon Pierce's career-high 176 rushing yards and a touchdown, while the Titans rotated quarterbacks Will Levis and Mason Rudolph throughout the match.
