The Tennessee Titans continue to lead the Houston Texans with a score of 16-9, despite the struggles of Titans' quarterback Will Levis and running back Derrick Henry. The Texans' defense has held Henry to only 2 yards on 11 carries and 1 yard on 4 catches. Titans' early lead was secured by a pick-six from Elijah Molden. On the Texans' side, quarterback Case Keenum and running back Devin Singletary have tried to keep the momentum, but the team still trails. Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn and Titans' Nick Folk contributed to the score with successful field goals.
#Titans 16-9 with 7:28 left in a drive that featured a loss of 19 yards on a sack/ backward pass for Will Levis.
Texans have scored one TD in their last 2 games against the Jets and Titans. Texans trail 16-9 with 7:28 left in the game.
Nick Folk is good from 45 yds to make it #Titans 16, Texans 9 with 7:28 left in the game.
Folk makes. Titans lead 16-9 with 7:28 to play.
Folk from 45 - it's good It's 16-9 #Titans over Texans
Nice run by @KingHenry_2 - first down #Titans at Texans 15
Levis to Hopkins. #Titans at the Texans 25
Johnston with his worst punt, 40 yards, and Titans start this drive at Houston 46.
Elijah Molden with the PICK 6! Need a breakdown from @alexmolden on this 👏👏👏. "Young jedi" getting it done. https://t.co/qXQTCgciAv
After three quarters, Derrick Henry has 2 yards on 11 carries and 1 yard on 4 catches but Titans lead 13-9. Texans starting this drive at their 3.
After 17 minutes the Titans led 13-0. Drive since the pick-6 gave them the lead: 6 plays 9 yards 5 plays, 15 yards 3 plays -17 yards 4 plays, 26 yards 18 plays, 33 yards in 2 quarters That’s -2.5 early felt good. Horrible since
End of the 3rd: Titans 13 Texans 9. Texans will have ball to start the fourth quarter.
Derrick Henry has 12 touches … for -1 yards. Against the Texans. WTH.
Texans had second and 6 at the Titans 30 and went backward. Singletary for no gain and Brown a 5-yard penalty for lining up offsides when Tunsil should have been called for a false start. Once again, Fairbairn had to bail out the offense, this time with a 53 FG to make it 13-9.
Ka'imi Fairbairn nailed a 53-yard field goal to make the score 13-9 with 2:42 left in the third quarter. Texans have some momentum, but at some point will need 7.
53 yd FG by Ka'imi Fairbairn pulls Houston a little closer. #Titans 13, Texans 9 with 2:42 to go in the 3rd.
Texans hit from 53 to chip at the Titans lead. 13-9 Tennessee
Derrick Henry entered the day averaging 203.6 Rush YPG in his last 5 games against the Texans, eclipsing 200 Rush yds in 4 of the 5 meetings. He has 7 yards on 6 rushes so far Sunday.
Derrick Henry today, against a team he often punishes for two bills on a given day: 9 carries, 0 yards.
This Texans team is hanging in there and slowly getting in position to take over the game. #Titans needed to answer the last drive and didn't. 13-6 and Houston is driving.
Derrick Henry 12 touches for -1 yards https://t.co/3wGv6cqr1Z
Levis deep to Hopkins. #Titans across midfield
Derrick Henry has -1 yards on 12 touches vs the Texans today
Henry 9 carries for 0 Yards rn
Texans had second and 5 at the Titans 8. Singletary lost a yard, and Keenum threw incomplete. Terrible in the red zone. Settle for Fairbairn 27 FG. That's FGs of 23 and 27 cause red zone offense has been awful. Texans trail 13-6.
Case Keenum tries to match a bad Will Levis pick with one of his own, but the ball hits the turf and the Texans get a field goal off the turnover to cut the lead to 13-6. Texans with a 95-34 edge on the ground.
Texans can't turn takeaway into a TD. Another FG and they are within 13-6 of the #Titans.
K’Von Wallace with a big break up on 3rd and 6. Titans RZ defense holds. 13-6 TEN lead after the Houston FG
Will Levis picked by Steve Nelson. Rolled out left and forced to DeAndre Hopkins. #Titans
Ill-advised pass by Will Levis as he tried to force one to DeAndre Hopkins. Steven Nelson picked it off. Texans have the ball at their 40 yd line.
Will Levis picked by Steve Nelson. Rolled out left and forced to Treylon Burks. #Titans
Levis INT. Texans ball vs #Titans
After their 83 yards on their first TD drive, the Titans have 41 yards. Texans have outgained them 153-124 but have no TDs. Noah Brown has 6 catches for 68 yards after getting shut out in the last two games.
Cause of that last series, Devin Singletary has 49 yards on 11 carries. Texans have 70 yards rushing on 15 carries. Keenum is 11 of 17 for 83 yards and a 51.8 rating cause of his pick-6 that Molden returned 45 yards for a TD.
Since beating Broncos to go 7-5, the Texans have 9 points in their last two games. After giving up a touchdown on the Titans first series, the defense has been exceptional. Henry has 6 carries for 7 yards and 3 catches for minus-1 yard. Levis is 8 of 9 for 99 yards and a TD run
Keep an eye on: #Texans averaging 4.7 yards a carry, #Titans averaging 2.6.
Third and 1 at the 5 and Singletary is stuffed. Texans drove all that way to settle for Fairbairn's 23-yard field goal. Titans lead 13-3 at the half.
The Texans settle for an FG to end the half, trailing the Titans 13-3. #Texans #Sarge #TexansWire
Texans get on the board before the end of the half. Titans lead the Texans 13-3. Titans will get ball to start the second half.
Halftime: #Titans lead the Texans 13-3. Levis: 8-9, 99 yards, 16 rush yards, TD Henry: 6 carries, 7 yards Burks: 2 catches, 57 yards Molden: 4 tackles, 2 PBU, 1 INT, 1 TD
Super unaggressive by HOU with a timeout to just settle for a run on third down and field goal at the end of half. #Titans up 13-3 at intermission.
#Titans lead 13-3 over the Texans at halftime. Tennessee gets the ball back to start the 3rd. Will Levis 8/9 99 yds 1 rushing TD Derrick Henry 6 car 11 yds Treylon Burks 2 rec 57 yds Elijah Molden 44 yd pick six Rashad Weaver 2 TFLs.
Titans get the stop on 3rd and 1…Houston FG unit coming out with :03 left in the half
Texans RB Devin Singletary is out there running hard. Just grinded out two runs for 15 yards to keep Houston's drive alive. One of them was on 4th & 1.
#Titans run defense very shaky on this drive. Texans on the move
Texans had a first down at the Titans 31. Singletary runs for 4. He had other gains on this series of 9, 2, 9 and 8. But Slowik gets tricky and Keenum's toss to Sims on an end-around is bad and they lose 9. It's third and 15 at the two-minute warning after being second and 6.
Elijah Molden's pick six was the Titans' first defensive TD since Week 7 of last season vs the Colts.Tennessee had gone 24 straight games without scoring a defensive TD, the longest active streak in the league entering Sunday/ h/t @ESPNStatsInfo
Texans start this series at their 45 with 5:38 left in the first half down 13-0.
Elijah Molden’s pick-six of Case Keenum gives Titans 13-0 lead. https://t.co/kzEa87AdL9
HOUSE CALL 🏠📞 #Titans CB Elijah Molden picks off Case Keenum and takes it to the crib 🔥 #TitanUp https://t.co/k7lZK8vydg
After getting clobbered 30-6 by the Jets, Texans are getting clobbered 13-0 by the Titans 1:04 into the second quarter. Keenum and Dare Ogunbowale got their signals crossed. The pass went right to Molden, who returned it 45-0 for a touchdown.
ELIJAH MOLDEN PICK-6 Titans (-3.5) extend their lead! https://t.co/qxGvmQMFYh
Elijah Molden with the first pick-six by a player in an Oilers uniform since Roderick Hood picked off Trent Edwards in the #Titans win over the Bills in 2009.
Absolute Case Keenum gift to Elijah Molden for the 45-yard pick six to make it 13-0 Titans. Route mixup with Dare Ogunbowale, who broke inside as Keenum threw outside. Davis Mills may have been the play today.
Elijah Molden jumps Case Keenum's pass, 45-yard pick-6. #Titans lead Texans 13-0.
Case Keenum throws a pick-six and all of a sudden, the Titans are up 13-0 with 13:56 left in the second quarter. Keenum didn't see Elijah Molden.

Elijah Molden pick-six ... #Titans
Texans had 4 carries 7 yards rushing, including a 5-yard gain by Singletary, in the first quarter.
Titans lead 6-0 after one quarter. Texans face second-and-10 at their 40 to start the second quarter.
Texans force a punt on Tennessee's second series.
The Texans run defense has been outstanding. They've limited the Titans to 12 yards on 10 carries. Henry has 2 yards on five carries.
Titans score first on Will Levis run. https://t.co/CAftFFa4s1
Levis to Burks - 20 more yards #Titans
Texans had 25 yards and one first down on their first two possessions. Titans second series begins at their 15 thanks to Cam Johnston's punt.
At least the Texans got a first down on their second series before punting.
Nice play by @ElijahMolden24 and the Texans are punting it back to the #Titans
But the Texans have limited Derrick Henry to 2 yards on 5 carries. That's something, right?
Will Levis gives the Titans the lead! He was +9500 to score the first TD of the 1 pm ET slate ✅ https://t.co/V172fVLtQB
Will Levis was 4 of 4 for 76 yards and a 1-yard touchdown run on Tennessee's first possession. He had completions of 37 and 33 yards.
Titans on the board first after that 11-play drive. They went for it on 4th-and-1 deep in their own territory, then converted on two explosive pass plays. Titans 6 Texans 0, 7:09 left in 1st. Explosive plays have been an issue recently. https://t.co/RHM6DhyDR0
Titans QB Will Levis off to a very solid start—gets a chunk throw off a hard count/free play, then takes it in himself. Tennessee up 7-0 on Houston.
Will Levis ran for a 1-yard touchdown on second down. Took it up the middle after Henry had been stopped for no gain. Just a terrible series by the Texans' defense. Folk missed the extra point, so Titans lead 6-0.
Will Levis keeps it himself to score the first touchdown of the game 🙌 https://t.co/5AiTfqbHeu
Will Levis vultures the 1-yard TD on 1st-and-goal.
Will Levis punched in it for a 1 yd TD and the #Titans take an early lead. Key plays: Levis to Treylon Burks for 37 yds and to Nick Westbrook-Ikhine for 33 yds. Nick Folk missed the extra point so its Titans 6, Texans 0. Drive Summary: 11 plays 83 yds 5:46
Will Levis with first career rushing TD from a yard out. PAT is no good, wide right.. #Titans up 6-0.
PAT is no good. It's 6-0 #Titans over Texans
Levis rushing TD
Have I mentioned how bad the Texans pass coverage has been. Levis now has completions of 37 and 33 yards on their first series.
Texans continue to get killed on deep passes. Levis to Burks for 37 yards to Houston 34.
Treylon Burks with a 37-yard catch. Long time since impact. #Titans
Treylon Burks sighting!
Levis finds Treylon Burks for a huge play downfield. 37 yard gain
Levis to Burks for 37 yards. First down #Titans
Texans ran two times for two yards on the first series. That's about typical. Three and out. Johnston's 55-yard punt put Titans at their 17.
Texans go 3 and out, punting @MasonKinsey87 back deep for #Titans
