Titans quarterback Jared Goff led the charge with an impressive 260 passing yards, while running back Josh Jacobs added a crucial 91 rushing yards to keep the offense moving. Dak Prescott of the Texans threw the game's only touchdown, but it wasn't enough to secure a win, as the Titans' balanced attack proved decisive.
