The Titans are also 7-0 against teams that made the playoffs last season, but just 1-2 against teams who missed the postseason last year — like the Texans.
The Titans have won three straight meetings against the Texans, but divisional matchups are usually close and Tennessee is dealing with a few notable injuries.
Taylor led an upset victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1, and then kept things close against the Cleveland Browns in Week 2 before he was injured.
The Titans allowed Trevor Siemian’s offense to outgain them by 109 yards last week, and he had the New Orleans Saints in position to tie the game late in the fourth quarter.
Tennessee recorded a season-low 194 yards of total offense against the Los Angeles Rams, were outgained by the Saints last week and had their lowest-scoring game since Week 1.
D’Onta Foreman has taken over as the lead back, and he has rushed for a total of 59 yards on 16 carries in two games.
The Texans’ defense recorded season bests in points allowed in their last game, and there’s a chance Taylor looks like the quarterback he was in the first two games of the season.
