The Tennessee Titans pulled off a huge upset on Sunday, going into NRG Stadium and knocking off the first-place Houston Texans, 32-27, in AFC South action.
The game wasn’t a masterpiece, but quarterback Will Levis was solid, Tony Pollard ran hard, and the defense made just enough plays to hold the Texans in check. Tennessee can now travel back to Nashville on a high note and enjoy a victory Monday.
Here’s how fans on X reacted to the first signature win under Brian Callahan.
Congrats to the @Titans !! Congrats to Will Levis for getting a huge win against a division rival! #Titans

Brian Callahan might not be a lot of yall cup of tea but this team is fighting hard for him in a lost season. Also 30 points scored in two games with two different quarterbacks is nothing to snooze at either #titans

Onside kick goes out of bounds. #Titans have the ball at the #Texans 29, just needing to kneel on it a couple of times.

In a tough season, a really nice, feel-good win for the #Titans. And one of the better games of Will Levis’ young career. https://t.co/Q8yg9TYphM

#Texans lose 32-27 to the 2-8 #Titans. A frustrating loss filled with mistakes on both sides, but ultimately Houston’s were more costly.
They fall to 7-5 and take their first loss within the division.

#Titans are going to win a shocker, beating Texans 32-27 to improve to 3-8. Two-game losing streak snapped.

The #Titans battled today and got the W against the Houston Texans.
I’ve been on board with the Tank idea but it’s awesome to get a win like that on the road against the team that can’t stop crying about the Oiler uniforms.
Bahahahahahahaha
— Titans Rossi! (@TitansRossi) November 24, 2024
That’s a great W. #Titans did a lot of really good things today. Still a lot of bad too, but the good was just good enough!
— Adam Polston (@Polston23) November 24, 2024
It wasn’t pretty, but the #Titans got it done when it looked bad for us at times in terms of momentum. Wouldn’t let adversity fold us today, and it’s a step in the right direction. First signature win for Levis, Cally, and co. I am so happy #Titanup

Make no mistake, this was a hard game to win against a good team today. It took a lot to beat the Texans today. Two interceptions and a safety by the defense. A missed FG by the Texans. Likely the best game of Will Levis’s career. But it all happened. All of it. #TitanUp #Titans

Ka’imi Fairbairn missed a tying 28-yard field goal wide left inside and the #Titans held on for a 32-27 upset at NRG Stadium.
TEN got long TDs from Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (38 yards) and Chig Okonkwo (70) while they got away with three turnovers and eight sacks allowed.
