HOUSTON -- The Tennessee Titans had one goal entering the season finale: to defeat the Houston Texans. In doing so, by way of Tennessee's 28-25 win over the Texans, the Titans secured the top seed in the AFC.
Ryan Tannehill's three touchdown passes in the first half got the Titans off to a 21-0 lead. It was the fourth time Tannehill had three first-half touchdown passes in his career. Three of those occurrences have come against the Texans.
Fittingly, the Titans had to dig deep to pull off the win. The Texans reeled off 18 unanswered points to close the gap to 21-18 in the fourth quarter.
