Summary

- Texans shut out Titans for first win of the season

On September 29, 2025, the Houston Texans defeated the Tennessee Titans 26-0 for their first win of the season. Rookie Woody Marks played a key role in the victory, scoring a touchdown reception and rushing for another score.
The Texans led 6-0 at halftime after two field goals, but neither team had reached the red zone until the final play of the third quarter. Marks then caught a 12-yard touchdown pass from C.J. Stroud to put Houston up 12-0.
The Texans pulled away in the fourth quarter, with Stroud throwing a 24-yard touchdown to rookie Jayden Higgins and Marks adding an 18-yard rushing touchdown to make it 26-0. Marks finished with 69 rushing yards and 50 receiving yards.
The Titans' offense struggled throughout, with rookie quarterback Cam Ward going 10-for-26 for 108 yards and an interception. The loss drops Tennessee to 0-4 on the season and extends their losing streak to 10 games dating back to last year.
It was a much-needed win for the Texans, who had scored just three touchdowns in their first three games. The dominant defensive performance, including four sacks of Ward, was also a positive sign for Houston as they look to build momentum.
