HOUSTON -- The Houston Texans are playing like a team that understands the playoff magnitude of their matchup versus the Tennessee Titans.

With quarterback C.J. Stroud returning to the starting lineup Sunday after missing two games, he and the Texans punctuated a hot start when defensive end Jerry Hughes sacked Titans' quarterback Will Levis and forced a fumble. Defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins was right there to scoop it and return it for a 13-yard touchdown to put Houston up 17-0.
