The Houston Texans currently lead the AFC South with a 7-4 record, but they have not met the high expectations set for them as Super Bowl contenders. With strong competition from teams like the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills, the Texans face a crucial matchup against the rebuilding Tennessee Titans.
Play-by-play announcer Tom McCarthy highlights the development of quarterback C.J. Stroud under pressure, noting that increased reliance on running back Joe Mixon could be pivotal for the Texans' success. McCarthy also discusses the Titans' formidable pass defense and the impact of injuries on their performance.
As the season progresses, the Texans' balance on offense and the health of key players like Mixon and Azeez Al-Shaair will be critical in determining their playoff prospects.
