The Houston Texans are set to conclude their 2024 NFL regular season against the Tennessee Titans, aiming for a 10-7 record as they head into the playoffs. Despite being the stronger team on paper, the outcome of this game holds little significance for the Texans, who have already secured a playoff spot.
However, they will be missing several key players, including cornerback Jeff Okudah and defensive end Will Anderson Jr. The focus for Houston will be to maintain player health ahead of the playoff run.
Similarly, the Titans face their own roster challenges, sidelining players such as running back Tyjae Spears and kicker Nick Folk. With no pressing need for victory, the Titans might even prefer to lose for a better draft position.
