A game both teams had to win and one team playing with a heavy heart wasn't going to be denied on this night. After the Tennessee Titans jumped out to 10-0 lead behind a FG and  a 61-yard TD Pass from Titans QB Marcus Mariota to TE Jonnu Smith the Texans settled down.

With the initials "R.C.M." Decal on their helmets for the late owner Robert C. McNair the Texans go on a 34-7 run as all phases clicked on this night. Houston's Offensive Attack was led by former Miami Hurricanes Star RB Lamar Miller (pictured right) as he told the Titans "D"," Picture me Rolling" and rolling he did as he ran to Austin, the Alamo City, Dallas, Lubbock, El Paso and back to H-Town for 162 yards on a dozen carries and one in the titans end one.

That Texans vertical passing game didn't have to do much as newly-acquired WR Demaryius Thomas scored twice on five grabs and just 38 yards. Texans All-Pro WR DeAndre Hopkins grabbed five more Wilson pigskins for 74 yards as the Texans "D" 6 red jersey collections on the night.

The "Slaughterhouse" was led by "Area 99" dba JJ Watt *(1.5 scks), Whitney Mercilus (1.5 scks), along with Jadeveon Clowney (1/2 sck) and Chrostian Covington (2.5 scks).

Tennessee was banged up through the night on that O-Line as Mariota still threw for 303 yards on 22 for 23 and 2 TD and no INTs. Soon to be Star WR Corey Davis ran for 39 yards on one play and then hauled in four balls for 96 yards and a TD.

Titans "D" did sack Watson 4 times but the damage was already done. Houston moves to a commanding two game lead in the AFC South at 8-3 with the Titans falling to 5-6...
