The Houston Texans hope to keep things going after a big Monday night win as they face an AFC South rival.
The Houston Texans snapped a two-game skid with a Monday night win over the Dallas Cowboys where Joe Mixon ran for three TDs. Now they’ll try to build on that victory when they return to AFC South play Sunday with the first of two meetings against the struggling Tennessee Titans.
Houston’s 34-10 win over the Cowboys stopped a slide where the Texans had lost three of their last four games. Meanwhile, Tennessee has lost two in a row and five of the past six.
The 7-4 Texans hold a two-game division lead over the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC South and have the tiebreaker.

Meanwhile, the Titans will need a big game from quarterback Will Levis, who doesn’t have a win yet in his two games back since missing three straight with a sprained AC joint in his right, throwing shoulder. But the second-year quarterback has completed 64.8% of his passes (35 of 54) for 470 yards with three TD passes and only one interception.
