The Tennessee Titans and Houston Texans faced off in a division matchup on Sunday. Entering the game, both teams were 0-3, so we already knew that someone would come away with their first win of the season. It wasn’t the Titans, though; they fell to 0-4 while the Texans walked away with a 1-3 record and a 26-0 shutout over the Titans.
It was a tough game from start to finish. The normally reliable Joey Slye missed two field goals, and for the first time this season, the Titans were held scoreless. After the game, rookie quarterback Cam Ward expressed his frustration with the team and wasn’t shy about it. Something has to change for the Titans if they want to win games, and it’s up to Brian Callahan to figure out what that is.
