NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Depleted and desperate for a win at home, Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel took an aggressive approach into Sunday's game against AFC South rival Houston. The plan paid dividends early, helping Vrabel and the Titans secure his their first victory.
The Titans had their backs against the wall without quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) and their top three offensive linemen. That didn't matter to Vrabel as he attacked the Texans, who gave him his coaching start in the NFL.
It was a chance for the Titans to show their true character.
