The Houston Texans are in a need of a rebound game in week two against the Tennessee Titans. Let’s take a look at three guys who need to improve to ensure this happens.

The Houston Texans will face off against the Tennessee Titans this Sunday in Nashville. You can catch the game on CBS once again at 12:00 p.m. Central Time. Titans head coach Mike Vrabel will face a good test in his home opener.

The Texans are looking to bounce back after a tough loss to the Patriots last week in Foxborough. The team struggled to shake off their rust, especially Deshaun Watson in his first game back from an ACL injury.

The Titans are also coming off of a loss to the Dolphins, who the Titans were expected to beat fairly handily. In that game, the Titans lostMarcus Mariotato an injury and he was replaced byBlaine Gabbert. Mariota is questionable for this week’s game but is expected to play.

The Titans have a very talented offense surrounding Mariota. They have two very different backs inDerrick HenryandDion Lewis. They also have a talented, young receiving corps withCorey DavisandRishard Matthewsleading the way. Unfortunately, they lost their tight end,Delanie Walker, to a dislocated ankle, for the season.

The Titans defense appears worse off than their offense but they still have plenty of talent on the field. The most intimidating part of their defense is their pass rush as they have a very good combo of solid veterans and wily young players.

The first AFC South matchup of the season is sure to be a fun, exciting one. Both teams are looking to get into the win column after tough losses. But, in order for the Houston Texans to get into the win column, they need these three guys to improve their play.Deshaun Watsonis an obvious choice here so, let’s look at three other guys who need improvement.
