The second-year quarterback threw a 38-yard touchdown pass to Nick Westbrook-Ikein late in the first quarter for a 10-7 lead. Then, on the first play of the drive with about 9:35 left in the game, Levi found Chigu Okonkwo for a 70-yard touchdown pass.

Tennessee's big play gave them a 30-27 lead. Titans linebacker Harold Landry III then added a safety to Stroud with 1:13 left in the game.

Levis completed 18 of 24 for 278 passing yards. He was sacked eight times, fumbled the ball and threw an interception, but still gave the Titans the win.

Titans running back Tony Pollard ran for 119 yards on 24 carries. He scored a 10-yard touchdown in the second quarter. Calvin Ridley led the team with 93 yards on five catches.

Tennessee's defense troubled Stroud. Linebacker Kenneth Murray Jr. and defensive back Jervin Brownlee Jr. each selected Stroud.

Stroud finished with two touchdown passes. He completed 20 of 33 for 247 yards. He started the game with a 19-yard touchdown pass to Cade Stover on the first drive. He then found Nico Collins for a 5-yard touchdown pass.

But beyond that, there was no offense from the Texans.

Houston cornerback Jimmy Ward returned Levi's interception 65 yards for a score in the third quarter. This gave the Texans a one point lead. Kicker Kaimi Fairbairn added another point with a 54-yard field goal.

However, the defense could not make a play to prevent Okonkwo from scoring. That has proven to make a huge difference.

Collins had five catches for 92 yards. Stover had three catches for 26 yards.
