Have won 5 regular-season home games in row
QB BROCK OSWEILER is 2-0 at home with Houston.
RB LAMAR MILLER rushed for 113 yards and a TD in last meeting against the Titans (10/18/15 with Miami).
WR DEANDRE HOPKINS has 24 catches for 449 yards (149.7 per game) & 4 TDs in his past 3 meetings against the Titans. Had career-high 238 yards (9 catches, 2 TDs) versus Tennessee on 11/30/14.

LB WHITNEY MERCILUS had 3.5 sacks in his last home game against the Titans. He has 8.5 sacks in past 5 games (including playoffs).
LB BENARDRICK MC KINNEY had a career-high 16 tackles last week. He aims for his 3rd game in a row with a sack.
DE JADEVEON CLOWNEY has 3 sacks in his past 3 games at home.
So there may be some light at the end of the tunnel this week. Can Jadeveon make it four sacks in four games at home? Can McKinney continue his brilliant form? Will the Texans make it eight wins in the last nine against the Titans?
