For the 39th time in history, your Houston Texans will face off against the Not-The-Houston-Oilers in a regular season matchup. This is certainly a tale of two teams going in opposite directions, as former Texans defensive coordinator Mike Vrabel has his Titans sitting atop the AFC while David Culley has managed to Barney Fife his way to a 1-8 record this season.

The Not-The-Oilers lead the series all-time at 21-17 and have won the last 3 games.
