Titans Drop Home Opener as Deshaun Watson Frustrates Tennessee

After a solid week 1, the Tennessee Titans had a let down in week 2 as Deshaun Watson and the Texans come to Nashville and frustrate the Titans. Watson was erratic early and would have 3 interceptions in the contest. However in the 2nd half after adjustments, he was able to continually find the soft spots in the Titans Defense with both the pass and run and would throw for 299 yards total and 3 Touchdowns.

The Texans ran the ball well with a group effort and were able to Intercept Marcus Mariota twice and keep the pressure high on the Titans with 6 sacks.

The Titans had several opportunities to turn the tide and momentum, but despite solid drives on two ocassions, missed Field Goals from Ryan Succop would add insult to injury. A day to forget as the good guys drop this one to the visiting Texans in an important early season divisional battle.

Tennessee will look to bounce back next week with a tough assignment of traveling to Jacksonville to open the season against the Jags in the first of two important divisional contests.
