The 5-6 Texans host the 2-9 Titans this Sunday in an early game at NRG stadium. The Texans lost last Sunday to the Bengals 22-13 at home while the Titans lost 43-24 @ Philadelphia on the road. Rookie Titan QB Zach Mettenberger seems to be making progress as he was 20/39, 345 yards, 2 TD's, 1 INT in the game with the Eagles. The Texans are expected to start Ryan Fitzgerald after the IR'ing of Ryan Mallet (torn pectoral). The Texans won the first meeting between these two in Nashville in Week 8; 30-16 in Mettenberger's debut.
