It's time for the 46th meeting between the Texans and the Titans, this time in Nashville.
Let's dive into a quick By the Numbers for this matchup.
10 - The Texans have won ten straight road division contests, going for 11 on Sunday.
1,176 - As of Sunday, it will have been nearly 1,200 days since the Texans lost an AFC South game on the road. The Texans lost to the Indianapolis Colts on October 17, 2021 and haven't lost an AFC South game since. That's four straight in Jacksonville, three straight in Indianapolis and three straight in Nashville, where the Texans will play on Sunday.
101,606,400 - that's how many seconds it's been since losing to Indianapolis. That's wild.
7 - Texans RB Joe Mixon is seven rushing yards short of 1,000 for the season.
76.4 - However, his 76.4 yards per game is Joe's second best in his career. In his second year in the league, back in 2018, he averaged 83.4 yards per game in Cincinnati.

92 - Texans DE Dylan Horton, who wears 92 for the Texans, was named the team's recipient of the Ed Block Courage Award.

+10 - The Texans are plus ten on the season, leading the way with 19 interceptions.
4 - With all four rookies finally healthy at the same time, there's a chance that the top four draft picks in the 2024 NFL Draft for the Texans will start on Sunday all together for the first time. Kamari Lassiter, Calen Bullock, Cade Stover and Blake Fisher have grown into stalwarts for this squad since their arrival post-draft.
4 - The Texans can do no better than the four seed in the AFC Playoffs.
3 - They have three possible opponents for Wild Card weekend - Los Angeles Chargers (Ravens win, Steelers loss, Chargers win), Pittsburgh Steelers (Ravens win, Steelers win) or Baltimore Ravens (Ravens loss, Steelers win)
The Ravens play the Browns in Baltimore.
