The Houston Texans clinched their 10th win of the season, defeating the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. While the game had no impact on the AFC standings, it was a significant victory for the Texans for several reasons. The win prevented a sweep at the hands of the Titans and extended their remarkable streak of winning divisional road games to 11 consecutive victories.
On Sunday, in their 23-14 win over the Tennessee Titans, the Houston Texans had some key goals. Certainly, aside from winning the game itself, gaining confidence on offense and staying healthy were probably at the top of the list, maybe even more so than winning the actual game. The game itself meant nothing to the AFC standings. If the Texans had lost, they'd have been 9-8 and sitting at the 4-seed in the AFC playoffs.
However, they did win the game, so instead, they're 10-7, and — you guessed it! — the 4-SEED IN THE AFC PLAYOFFS! I contend, however, that there were important reasons to win that game, aside from the positive optics of a double digit win total for a second straight season. First, the Texans avoids a sweep at the hands of the Titans. Considering the Titans wound up with the worst record in football, a split of the season's two games against them is embarrassing enough. Secondly, though, the Texans kept alive one of the most mind boggling win streaks in my personal history of being a sports fan — they've now won 11 games in a row, on the road, inside the division. That's right, the Houston Texans have not lost a divisional road game since Week 6 of the 2021 season! Here is the list of games they've won in compiling that streak: (NOTE: The Texans' record at the time of kickoff for each game is in the first set of parentheses, and the betting spread and moneyline for each game is in the second set/)2021, Week 15 (3-10) – Texans 30, Jaguars 16 (LINE +6, +210)2022, Week 16 (1-12-1) – Texans 19, Titans 14 (LINE +3, +135)2023, Week 3 (0-2) – Texans 37, Jaguars 17 (LINE +9.5, +325)2023, Week 18 (9-7) – Texans 23, Colts 19 (LINE -1.5, -130)2024, Week 13 (7-5) – Texans 23, Jaguars 20 (LINE -3.5, -190)Here are some amazing facts about this remarkable streak:Yes, remember David Culley? The most overmatched head coach in the history of football watching? Honestly, I barely remember the 2021 Texans season. It feels like a fever drea
