NFL power rankings round-up 2026: How do Texans fare entering Week 6?
Now sitting at 1-4 following their win over the Tennessee Titans, how much has changed between the public's opinion?
The Houston Texans secured a 26-3 victory over the Tennessee Titans, ending their season-opening winless streak. Pro Bowl quarterback C.J. Stroud contributed 261 yards and two touchdowns in the second half, leading the offense to life. Wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. was acquired by trade, joining the team before their Week 6 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London.
The Texans' offense struggled in the first half due to penalties, but they later put together a strong performance, scoring four field goals from Ka'im I Fairbairn. Quarterback Stroud once again put on a strong performance, throwing for 347 yards and two touchdowns. However, the lack of a run game and penalties cost Houston during some drives.
The combination of David Montgomery and Woody Marks yielded fewer than 60 yards combined, averaging less than 4.0 yards per carry. Despite these challenges, Houston dominated the Titans, holding them to 187 total yards and allowing only 16 points. The Texans now face the Jacksonville Jaguars in London next week, with kickoff scheduled for 8:30 a.m. on NFL Network.
