The Tennessee Titans (0-3) play the Houston Texans (0-3) this afternoon for a Week 4 battle between two winless teams at NRG Stadium in Houston.
Tennessee has made a major change by handing over play-calling duties from Head Coach Brian Callahan to quarterbacks coach Bo Hardegree. But while that might jolt the offense, rookie QB Cam Ward has been limited at practice due to ankle/calf issues, though he is expected to start.
Houston is equally desperate, also trying to get the offense going. Their cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. is listed as questionable with an oblique injury, which could impact their secondary.
4 Things to Watch
1) Ward’s health & command under new play-caller
With Ward dealing with ankle/calf limitations, his ability to execute under pressure and manage the offense with Bo Hardegree now calling plays will be under scrutiny.
2) Texans secondary without Stingley
If Stingley can’t play, Houston’s cornerback room will be tested. That could open up opportunities for deep shots from Tennessee’s receivers.
3) Line of scrimmage & protection battles
Tennessee’s right tackle JC Latham is out again, forcing reshuffling up front. Houston’s offensive line has struggled under pressure all season, so matching up will be key.
4) Turnovers & momentum swings
In a matchup between two struggling teams, mistakes will be costly. Whichever side forces turnovers or garners big plays may swing the momentum decisively.
Predictions
This is arguably a toss-up, but Houston gets a slight edge at home. If Stingley plays, their secondary gains stability, and the Texans have shown flashes of life offensively in spurts.
Tennessee, with a rookie QB under new play-calling and injury troubles up front, may struggle to maintain consistency. The key for the Titans will be establishing the run and keeping Houston off balance.
Projected Final Score: Texans 24, Titans 21
