Titans 23 (9-7) Texans 22 (10-6) : Jake Delhomme came from off the couch to off the bench and into action against the Titans on the last week of the NFL season. Delhomme lead the Texans to a late touchdown and a chance to tie the game and force overtime. Instead of kicking the extra point, the Texans decided to go for 2 and the win.
First, the Texans jumped offsides to move the ball from the 2 yard line to the 7. Then, the ball was snapped over Delhomme’s head and the 2 point try never had a chance. The Titans won the game and kept their playoff hopes alive. The Titans will sneak into the playoffs most easily with a Bengals loss to the Ravens. There are two other more complicated ways for the Titans to make the playoffs.
The Titans win also eliminated the Raiders from playoff contention as a wild card team. The Raiders can now only make the playoffs as the champion of the AFC West.The Titans got 92 yards receiving and a touchdown from Nate Washington in the win. Ben Tate started at running back for the Texans who were resting Arian Foster. The Texans will remain the third seed in the AFC and will host a playoff game next week.
