The Story in 60 Seconds

Clayton Anderson highlights nine winners and four losers following the Houston Texans' 26-3 blowout victory over the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium. Head coach DeMeco Ryans successfully took over defensive play-calling duties, leading a unit that held Tennessee to just 187 total yards and three points. Standouts included Will Anderson Jr., who recorded three sacks, kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn with four field goals, and quarterback C.J. Stroud, who also scored a rushing touchdown.

Anderson lists David Montgomery as a loser after suffering a groin injury, alongside defensive coordinator Matt Burke following Ryans' play-calling takeover. Wide receivers Xavier Hutchinson and Kayshon Boutte were also deemed losers due to reduced roles after the Texans acquired Marvin Harrison Jr. from the Arizona Cardinals in a post-game trade.
