HOUSTON (AP) – Houston coach Bill O’Brien knows Sunday wasn’t a great game by the Texans.
Still, after what happened last week, the coach was perfectly content with the performance since it led to a victory.
“We had to get the win,” O’Brien said. “It wasn’t pretty. But who cares? It’s a win.”
Brian Hoyer threw for 235 yards and two touchdowns and Houston tied a franchise record with seven sacks to help the Texans to a 20-6 win over the mistake-prone Tennessee Titans.
The Texans rebounded from an embarrassing 44-26 loss to the Dolphins despite playing without Arian Foster, who suffered a season-ending Achilles tendon injury in that game. The win leaves them second in the AFC South and they could be tied for the division lead if the Colts lose to the Panthers on Monday night.
