Titans’ causes for concern vs. Texans in Week 17

The Tennessee Titans are looking to secure their first division title since the 2008 season when they take on the Houston Texans in Week 17 at NRG Stadium.

With a win, the Titans would accomplish that feat no matter the outcome of the Indianapolis Colts-Jacksonville Jaguars game. Tennessee could also punch its ticket to the postseason before even taking the field if either the Baltimore Ravens or Miami Dolphins lose.

On the flip side of that, the Texans have a chance to play spoilers, as an upset victory over the Titans could not only stop them from winning the AFC South, but from making the playoffs altogether.

Granted, the Texans have had a brutal season and sport a 4-11 mark, but divisional games are never easy and this team always has at least a puncher’s chance with an elite quarterback like Deshaun Watson under center.

Adding to that, the Titans have plenty of their own issues that are concerning, no matter who the opponent is. Let’s see what Tennessee should be worried about the most ahead of their Sunday showdown against Houston.
