12 Oct
Summary
- Titans began the 2026 NFL season with an 0-5 record.
- Team's offense struggled, scoring lowest points this season.
- Tyjae Spears led running backs in snaps, lost a crucial fumble.
The Tennessee Titans have started their 2026 NFL season with a dismal 0-5 record following a Week 5 defeat against the Houston Texans. This latest loss marks a continuation of their struggles, as their offense has consistently underperformed throughout the early part of the season.
Their performance against the Texans yielded their lowest point total of the season. The offense managed only three points, a field goal scored on their opening drive. This was a concerning display against a Texans team that had also entered the game without a victory.
Analyzing player involvement, backup running back Tyjae Spears logged more snaps than starter Tony Pollard, with 34 to Pollard's 30. Spears, primarily used in passing situations, recorded no rushing yards on two carries but nine receptions for 28 yards. Crucially, he lost a fumble in the first half, which directly led to a Texans field goal.
With this loss, the Titans are now among the three teams in the NFL with an 0-5 record. Their next challenge comes in Week 6 with a game against the Indianapolis Colts.
