The Houston Texans established a strong lead against the Tennessee Titans at NRG Stadium, with a 17-0 scoreline. The Texans opened the scoring with a 28-yard field goal, taking a 3-0 lead midway through the first quarter, with 7:17 left on the clock. The Texans' offense was initially contained by the Titans' red zone defense, settling for a field goal after reaching the 10-yard line. CJ Stroud led the Texans on a 94-yard drive, culminating in a 12-yard touchdown pass to Brevin Jordan, making it 10-0. The Texans' defense was equally effective, with pressure from Anderson leading to a Titans' punt. A critical mistake by the Titans' Caleb Murphy, who ran into the kicker, gave the Texans a renewed opportunity. The Texans capitalized on this with a strip sack by Hughes, which resulted in another touchdown, bringing the score to 17-0.
AFC South scoreboard: @colts still lead Raiders 7-3, @texans have extended lead to 17-0 over @titans.
The momentum is squarely in the Texans favor right now. Defense is playing lights out. Offense is playing well, too. https://t.co/G1SKf73Tf1
The Texans are ROLLING today 👀 https://t.co/sZPNlKiGmF
That was a veteran move by Hughes to strip the ball first before going for the sack. Rankins, with the recovery, puts the Texans up 17-0. #Texans #Sarge #TexansWire
Strip sack for the touchdown and it's 17-0 @HoustonTexans! 📺: FOX https://t.co/BSHTSWb5bJ
That touchdown drive of 94-yards and over 7 minutes is exactly what the Texans want to do if the Titans are going to take the explosive plays. Houston leads Tennessee 10-0 in the second quarter. #Texans #Sarge #TexansWire

Texans go 94 yards in 13 plays. Stroud throws a 12-yard TD Pass to TE Brevin Jordan. Texans lead 10-0. Stroud was 6 of 7 for 44 yards and a TD on the series. Singletary carried 4 times for 31 yards, including a 24-yard run.
CJ Stroud finds Brevin Jordan, throwing across his body to get it there, for the touchdown. And the Texans are up 10-0 on Tennessee.
The Texans two drives have been 13 plays each, both ending in points. #Titans bailed them out with the running into the punter on the second one, but other than that Texans have been super methodical. 25 offensive plays already and just four third downs.
Woo hoo, Stroud TD. Sorry, Titans.
Walk in touchdown Brevin Jordan. Houston extends their lead.
Such an easily avoidable running into the kicker by Caleb Murphy. Instead, the Texans maintain possession. #Titans
Caleb Murphy running into the kicker for the #Titans, who keep making plays that get them beat. First down #Texans
Texans force Titans to punt after Anderson pressures Levis into an incompletion. Texans take over at their 6 leading 3-0.
Texans go 58 yards in 13 plays on their first series. Fairbairn 28 FG gives them a 3-0 lead. They couldn't score after getting a first down at the Titans 10. Stround was 5 of 7 for 38 yards. Incompletions on his last 2 throws.
The Texans get on the board first and lead the Titans 3-0 midway through the first quarter. #Texans #Sarge #TexansWire
The Titans played good defense in the red zone, hold the Texans to a field goal. Decent drive on offense though. Texans 3 Titans 0, 7:17 left in Q1. https://t.co/G1SKf73Tf1
Methodical drive until the Texans got to the 10-yard line. #Titans shut them down in the red zone. So a 28-yard FG gives HOU a 3-0 lead.
Titans red zone defense continues to impress…Houston settling for a FG on an opening possession where they moved the ball down to the 20 with ease. 3-0 Houston lead.
It's 3-0 #Texans over #Titans
#Titans get a stop, Texans kicking FG
This might be where I take a shot at the end zone. Good drive so far. Texans have it at the Titans 29 yard.
#Titans will get the ball first to start this game against the Texans. I'll do tweets and you can respond to those tweets or share them or even ignore them but nevertheless there will be tweets. Live blog for @Tennessean below. Let's football. https://t.co/mepuOKAYqM
