NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Titans and Texans are both in desperate need of a win.
The Titans (1-5) have lost five straight, while the Texans (2-5) have dropped three of four, including a lopsided loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
This weekend, something has to give.
This week I caught up with John McClain, who covers the Texas for the Houston Chronicle. You can follow McClain on Twitter at @McClainonNFL.
