With the stakes high for both teams, the Texans showcased their dominance on both sides of the ball, leaving no doubt about their readiness for the postseason.

His favorite target was Jayden Higgins, who torched the Titans' secondary with 150 receiving yards, making several key catches that extended drives and shifted momentum in favor of the Texans.

A pivotal moment came when Reed Blankenship intercepted a pass, halting a Titans drive and allowing Houston to capitalize and extend their lead, ultimately sealing their victory.
