In a closely contested match, Will Levis led the Tennessee Titans to a thrilling 32-27 victory over the Houston Texans. Levis showcased his skills with an impressive performance, passing for 278 yards and throwing two touchdown passes. Unfortunately for Houston, their recent struggles continued, as they fell to a 7-5 overall record and have now lost their last two home games.
Despite C.J. Stroud throwing two interceptions, the Texans had a late opportunity to tie the game in the closing minutes. However, their hopes were dashed when Ka’imi Fairbairn’s 28-yard field goal attempt went wide left. After managing a defensive stop, Houston had one last chance at a comeback, but Harold Landry’s sack resulted in a safety, sealing the Texans’ fate.
Stroud acknowledged his underwhelming performance, stating, “It’s no secret that I haven’t been playing well… I’ve got to be harder on myself. I know I can be a great player, but I’ve got to make better plays.” This reflects his determination to improve moving forward.
The loss not only means the Texans missed an opportunity to solidify their playoff position, but it also creates pressure as they look ahead. Their upcoming matchup is critical, with the Jaguars looming in Week 13. The Texans have a challenging road ahead but have shown flashes of potential this season.
Despite this setback, there is still hope for the Texans. With a talented roster and resilience demonstrated throughout the season, they have the ability to rebound and push for a playoff spot. A strong finish to the season could still see Houston achieve their initial goal of reaching double-digit wins.
Overall, the Texans’ performance in Week 12 serves as a reminder of the challenges they face, but also highlights the opportunities that lie ahead as they strive for improvement and success in the remaining weeks of the season.
