The Texans trailed Jacksonville 29-10 entering the 4th quarter on Sunday, before surging ahead to win 36-29. The 26 unanswered points scored to win the game gave an inconsistent Houston team a major momentum boost. Backup QB Davis Mills showed an admirable amount of grit in the win, causing some to discuss the possibility of him overtaking the starter position. He'll get another key outing in Tennessee.
DAVIS FREAKING MILLS EVERYONE!!!!

Tennessee entered their bye amidst a 4-game losing streak. They were always expected to rebuild slowly, but their league-worst record of 1-8 has not given many positives to build on. Rookie QB Cam Ward has flashed his potential, but also has the worst numbers of any starting QB in the NFL. The situation around him needs to improve, or the Titans may make the mistake of giving up on another young QB too soon.

The Texans won the first matchup between these two teams at home by 26 points. I would expect the rematch to be much closer for a few reasons. Despite the spark provided late by Davis Mills, Houston's offense certainly struggled without Stroud for the first three quarters of the game. They also head on the road for this rematch to face the rested Titans. Expect a low-scoring, close game that Tennessee covers.
