They let a turnover away and lost 19-16 to the Texans in OT.
Even though the Titans got ahead early, they couldn’t finish off the Texans. The Titans were supposed to be happy after winning two games in a row, but they were sad after losing to the Texans 19-16 in overtime.
The Texans scored a field goal within overtime to win after the Titans lost a 13-0 lead. Even worse, the loss meant the Titans were no longer in the running for the playoffs. It didn’t happen, though.
Desrick Henry, running back for the Titans, said, “We thought we might be close to sneaking in if that we won out.” “It’s hard because we still have three games to go.”
You can taste something sour in your mouth. But there are still three games left, and we need to do our best to win them all and end our campaign on a high note.
Their record dropped to 5-9 for the year. After an exciting win in Miami on Monday night, the Titans had a chance to win two straight games for the first time this season.
“At the end of the day, we still have three games to play. These last three games will be the last time in 2023 when we will play together.” Let’s make the most of it, take things one day at a time, get back to our jobs, and try to end the season strong.
Will Levis, quarterback for the Titans, threw over 199 yards and ran for a score in the game. Levis, on the other hand, got sacked seven times and had to limp off the playing surface after being thrown in overtime.
There were 16 times that Henry ran for nine yards, but the Titans couldn’t get their offense going all day. The Texans came back to force extra time, and as time ran out, they scored a field goal to win the game.
Coach Mike Vrabel said that his team is not ready to talk about the fact that they are no longer in the running for the playoffs.
“I think all we want to do is get better and get back.” We had a lot in guys play at less than 100%, which is normal for this point in the season.
There will be a lot of fighting and competition. We need to count on our leaders and do anything we can to help them feel confident before the game or play with all their might.
After forcing the defense to go three and out, the offense moved the ball 83 yards in 11 plays and scored on Levis’s one-yard touchdown run.
On the drive, Levis completed long passes to Treylon Burks for 37 yards and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine for 33 yards.
Elijah Molden, a defensive back for the Titans, picked off Texans quarterback Case Keenum early in the second quarter and returned the ball 45 yards for a score. At 13:56 in the second quarter, the pick-6 led to the 13-0 Titans.
The Titans held the Texans to an empty goal on their last drive of the half, which gave them a 13–3 lead at the break.
When Ka’imi Fairbairn made his third field goal for the Texans, the score was 13–9. There were 2:42 left to the third quarter.
The Tennessee defense got stronger again, and they only let the Texans score a short field goal. This made the score 13–6 at 6:27 in the third quarter, after Levis had intercepted a pass.
The Titans made a big stop just before the third quarter when Denico Autry got a sack. It was Autry’s 10th sack during the season, which is the most in his career.
Nick Folk kicked a field goal from 45 yards out, making it 16-9 Titans in 7:28 left. But the Texans moved down the field as well as scored when Keenum threw a touchdown pass to wide receiver Noah Brown from three yards out. With 3:03 left, the score was tied at 16-16.
