SERIES HISTORY: 29th meeting. Titans lead the series, 15-13. Tennessee dominated this series in the early stages, but Houston has won four in a row and seven of the past eight. The Texans will try to exploit Marcus Mariota's penchant for turnovers. They must bottle up Murray and Derrick Henry.
The offense needs to improve its efficiency as a rushing attack and improve in the red-zone area and cut down on turnovers. Players Return: After the past couple of offensive performances for the Titans, especially last week, fans have been looking forward to the return of Delanie Walker and Kendall Wright. While Delanie Walker's status is up in the air for Sunday, the odds that he plays on Sunday are higher than last week. He is the Titans best weapon through the air on offense, and was sorely missed last week. On the other hand, Kendall Wright looks poised to return to the lineup.

However, how effective he will be remains to be seen. He has not been on the field in over a month, and things such as timing, game condition, and overall comfortability take time, especially when jumping into a new offense where players have looked confused and uncomfortable. That being said, the return of two key players is always a positive, especially for a struggling offense. Watt, a three-time Defensive Player of the Year, is the fulcrum of the defense.
But the Texans have done a fine job cultivating pass-rushing talent to complement Watt, with defensive end Jadeveon Clowney and linebacker Whitney Mercilus having combined for three sacks and seven quarterback hits. The Texans are tied for third in the NFL in sacks (10), first in net passing yards allowed (151.3), third in opponent's third-down conversion rate (26.8) and fifth in net yards allowed (277).
