Texans snap 9-game skid by beating skidding Titans 19-14

Associated Press  

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Houston Texans have been fighting, scrapping and clawing, only to come up short too many times this season. Davis Mills threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Brandin Cooks with 2:52 left, and the Texans snapped a nine-game skid by beating the sliding Tennessee Titans 19-14 Saturday in a game delayed because of power issues. Linebacker Christian Harris intercepted rookie Malik Willis at the Houston 41 with 1:33 left, and Texans safety Jalen Pitre picked off Willis’ final pass in the end zone to seal the victory. “He kind of tunes out the outside noise and all he is focused on is trying to help this team win.” Ka’imi Fairbairn kicked his second field goal with 7:25 left in the game as Houston turned Henry’s fifth fumble in five games into points. Titans linebacker Zach Cunningham hurt his elbow early in the second quarter and didn’t return a day after being activated off injured reserve.
