The Tennessee Titans have become the NFL’s version of a college basketball team that is always on the bubble as the year ends. This year, it will have to go on the road for its critical game, visiting the Houston Texans. Beat the Texans and they are in the playoffs, no questions asked. Tennessee could have escaped the tension of a must-win game before the playoffs, but lost 24-21 two weeks ago at home to the Texans in a first-place showdown in the AFC South. The Texans’ 31 sacks rank 25th in the NFL, and Watt’s four in a half-season are more than any other teammate except Whitney Mercilus.
