On the defensive side, the Titans showcased their dominance, with Derwin James Jr. making a significant impact. He recorded seven total tackles and snagged an interception that shifted momentum in Tennessee's favor. The turning point came in the fourth quarter when James' pick halted a Texans drive, allowing the Titans to maintain their lead and ultimately secure the victory.
