Two teams with different expectations but identical records play on Oct. 11 at Nissan Stadium.
The Tennessee Titans host the Houston Texans, with both AFC South teams at 0-4.
Tennessee's tendency to struggle
in first halves continued in last week's loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The Titans have trailed at halftime in all four games, scoring a combined 20 points in the first half.
Carnell Tate (back) is questionable to play against Houston, one week after his first 100-yard game as a pro.
The Texans' defense has had a hard time against strong competition (Bills, Bengals, Colts, Cowboys), but the group is still talented with dynamic pass rushers Will Anderson and Danielle Hunter.
C.J. Stroud has had a strong statistical start to the season (1,141 passing yards, five touchdowns, zero interceptions) but hasn't closed games down late.
ESPN reported on Oct. 10 that Houston was among the teams talking to Arizona about acquiring wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., but that any trade would be finalized after Week 5
