Texans vs. Titans | In numbers

This is the 45th meeting between a team that formerly resided in Houston and a team that resides in Houston. The Titans vs. Texans matchup is always a hot one, given the history of the two teams and their shared ties to Houston. So let’s get into my “By the Numbers” about this matchup against the Titans.

5. From the end of the 2019 season through the opening game of the 2022 season, the Tennessee Titans won five of six games, including four of them in Houston.

3 – However, the Texans have won three straight since December 2022, including an overtime win in December 2023 in Nashville.

5. Since the Texans’ win over the Titans in Nashville in December 2019, the Texans have beaten Tennessee five times. They also won five times with FIVE different starting QBs.

2023 Game 1 – Case Keenum

2023 Game 2 – C.J. Stroud

23 to 21 – The Texans have closed the gap in the rivalry throughout the 2010s, but the aforementioned five of six for Tennessee gave them the edge in the rivalry. The Titans have now won two more games out of 44 played by these two teams. If the Texans can pass the Titans this year, they will be tied at 23 apiece by 2025.

10 – Texans Danielle Hunter brought pressure from all over the field, but according to Next Gen Stats, he totaled ten pressures and two sacks in 46 passes against Dallas in the Texans’ MNF win in Arlington.

7 – The Texans are 7-4 for the first time since 2019, when they were also 7-4 at that point in the season.

163 – The only team that has penalized more than the Texans and Titans is the Baltimore Ravens. The two AFC South contenders have combined for 163 penalties, although the Texans have slowed that trend a bit over the last few weeks.

26.3 – The Titans allowed the seventh-most points per game in the league, but I won’t put it all in this unit since Titans QB Will Lewis tallied several pick-sixes and passes that led directly to touchdowns in 2024 . .
