The Houston Texans (9-7) will battle the Tennessee Titans (3-13) in Week 18, where Houston is looking to snap its two-game losing streak in their season finale before heading into the playoffs.
Sunday’s regular-season finale from Nissan Stadium in Nashville will be televised on CBS at noon CT. The commentators for the game are Tom McCarthy (play-by-play), Ross Tucker (analyst) and Jay Feely (sideline reporter).
The Texans are coming off an ugly 31-2 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Christmas Day. The offense never found life behind quarterback C.J. Stroud while the defense allowed over 250 rushing yards to Derrick Henry and MVP candidate Lamar Jackson.
Meanwhile, the Titans haven’t won since Week 12’s victory over Houston. While the Texans are in line for a double-digit win season, Tennessee’s in prime position to secure a top-three pick in the upcoming NFL Draft with a loss.
The Texans might not have much to play for in playoff seeding, but a 10-win season should be recognized. Over its two-decade run since its inaugural season in 2002, Houston has only finished with double-digit campaigns eight times.
With a victory on Sunday, the Texans would finish with back-to-back 10-win seasons for the only second time in franchise history and the first time since 2019.
Next week, the Texans will host the No. 5 seed in the wild-card round. With a win, it’s projected that Houston would then travel to Arrowhead Stadium to take on the top-seeded Kansas City Chiefs.
History has usually placed Houston on Saturday during the early window.
This year, the early game will be on Amazon Prime.
