In a pivotal Week 5 matchup of the 2026 season, the Tennessee Titans topped the Houston Texans with a final score of 21-10, solidifying their position in the competitive AFC South. With both teams vying for playoff positioning, this victory was crucial for the Titans as they look to build momentum moving forward. Offensively, the Texans showcased a strong passing attack led by C.J. Stroud, who threw for 349 yards, while David Montgomery contributed significantly on the ground with 94 rushing yards. Dalton Schultz was a reliable target for Stroud, racking up 90 receiving yards and keeping the chains moving throughout the game. However, the Texans struggled to convert their yardage into points, which ultimately hurt their chances. Defensively, the Titans were anchored by Kevin Winston Jr., who recorded a game-high eight tackles, helping to stifle the Texans' offensive rhythm. The game's turning point came when Cedric Gray sacked Stroud, forcing a crucial turnover that swung momentum in favor of Tennessee. With their defense stepping up when it mattered most, the Titans were able to hold off the Texans and secure the win.
