The Tennessee Titans have worn their Houston Oilers jerseys twice against the Houston Texans.
They’ve yet to beat the new kids on the block that call H-Town home in those threads following a 23-14 loss on Sunday in the regular-season finale.
Best of all? The Texans’ social media remains undefeated when coming up with content to clapback at the Titans.
Earlier in the week, Tennessee changed its profile photo on X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram to the iconic oil derrick from the Oilers days.
As soon as the clock hit zero over at Nissan Stadium, Houston wasted little time firing back while making the team with the No. 1 overall hold another L to close out a bad year.
Houston kept the rig in place in titled it “Expectation.” On the opposing side, the team rearranged the oil derrick to form an L and titled it “Reality.”

That was only the beginning of the trolling. Houston also hopped on the face that Tennessee still tries to act like it has ties with the Oilers by posting a photo of cooking oil with the caption, “found the oiL in tennessee.”
When you get up close to the bottle, the label reads:
Texans Win

For the second time since moving to Tennessee in 1996, the Titans have suffered a 14-loss season. Over the three decades they stood in Houston, the Oilers only lost 14 games.
Who said moving was always the best thing for one’s career?
The Texans continue their run toward a Super Bowl with a matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. in the wild-card round.
