The Tennessee Titans and their fans love to have some fun with Houston sports fans when they get mad about Tennessee wearing the Houston Oilers throwbacks, but it was the Texans who had the last laugh on Sunday.
Despite the fact that the Titans came into the game with a worse record, they were favored over the Texans, mostly thanks to Houston missing some key players, including quarterback C.J. Stroud.
However, the Titans played an awful game on offense and allowed the Texans to hang around and escape Nashville with a 19-16 victory in overtime.
After the game, the Texans made sure to troll their division rival.

The most frustrating part of Sunday’s loss was the absolutely terrible play-calling from offensive coordinator Tim Kelly, who made the job of the Texans’ defense much easier.
Had Kelly been even slightly below-average as a play-caller in Week 15, the Titans win this game. Instead, he called one of the worst games anyone has ever seen.
