The Tennessee Titans are headed back to the playoffs after beating their divisional foes, the Houston Texans.

The Tennessee Titans are going back to the playoffs, as they defeated the Houston Texans 35-14 on Sunday, clinching the sixth and final spot in the AFC.

Granted, many of the Texans’ key players offensively and defensively were either inactive, were active but didn’t play, or had very small roles in the game.

Deshaun Watson and DeAndre Hopkins were both active, but neither played a down on Sunday. Carlos Hyde was in on the first drive before being taken out, and many other Texans who were dealing with injuries sat out, including Will Fuller, Laremy Tunsil, and many more.

Regardless, in the NFL, a win is a win, and when that win means that your team is in the playoffs, then I’m sure you’ll take it however you can get it.

Now everything resets for the Titans and Texans, along with the ten other teams participating in the playoffs. The Texans will host the Buffalo Bills next week, while the Titans will have to travel to Foxboro for a battle with the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots.

In what will be the last winners and losers of the 2019 regular season, here’s a look at the Titans who did great on Sunday, and just one who wasn’t very good.
