The Houston Texans will end the season facing the Tennessee Titans in Week 17.
The end is almost here for the 2020 Houston Texans season, as there is one game left on the schedule before this poor chapter in Texans history can be closed for good. The Texans are scheduled to host the Tennessee Titans on Sunday with Tennessee looking to clinch the AFC South championship.
A win by the Titans and the AFC South crown is theirs, as the Texans have won the division the past two seasons, but fell down this year with a current record of 4-11. If the Titans lose to the Texans and the Indianapolis Colts win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, the division title goes to Indianapolis.
None of this really matters for the Houston Texans, because win or lose on Sunday in a late afternoon game on CBS, the Texans’ season will be finished. The one good thing about having another Texans game this season is we can watch the greatness that is J.J. Watt and Deshaun Watson one last time for this season.
Who knows if this will be the last time Watt ever plays for the Texans, and for Watson, it will be interesting to see how his successful season ends. Watson enters this game with 4,458 passing yards with a team-record of 30 touchdown passes and only six interceptions in 15 games played in 2020.
Watson has also completed 70.1 percent of his passes this season. As for Watt, the defensive end is wrapping up his 10th season with the Houston Texans, and in 2020 he’s collected five sacks, one interception and 34 solo tackles. This game on Sunday will be Watt’s 128th regular-season game with the Texans, all starts.

Tennessee has everything to gain, and everything to possibly lose, in this Week 17 game. If they defeat the Houston Texans, it will be Ryan Tannehill, Derrick Henry and the rest of the Titans celebrating the first division title for Tennessee since 2008, as they’ve won two AFC South championships since 2002.
The Titans should win this game, but earlier this year it wasn’t an easy win over the Texans. With Deshaun Watson still the Texans quarterback, and J.J. Watt at defensive end, don’t expect a walk in the park allowed by the Texans this time around, either.
Announcing the game will be Greg Gumbel and Rich Gannon on the CBS coverage.
