Houston Texans (1-4) at Tennessee Titans (4-0), 1:00 pm

Texans: The defending AFC South champions have split their season series with Tennessee each of the past four seasons dating back to 2016. A year ago, the Texans won at Nashville, 24-21, in Week 12. The team’s only win in 2020 came vs. the Jaguars. Houston owns a 9-4 regular-season record vs. their divisional rivals dating back to 2018.

Titans: Quarterback Ryan Tannehill has picked up from where he left off after taking over as the team’s starting quarterback in Week 7. Since then, the Titans own a 13-4 overall record (including playoffs) and over that span, the ex-Dolphins’ signal-caller has thrown for 36 scores (7 interceptions) and run for 291 yards and six touchdowns.

New York Jets (0-5) at Miami Dolphins (2-3), 4:05 pm

Jets: Earlier this week, the organization parted ways with running back Le’Veon Bell (via ESPN’s Rich Cimini). He ran just 19 times for 74 yards and caught three passes for 39 yards in two games this season. Meanwhile, Adam Gase’s club is averaging an NFL-low 15.0 points per game and the Jets’ offensive unit has scored only six TDs in five games.

Dolphins: Running back Myles Gaskins has been a huge surprise for Brian Flores’ team. He’s totaled 64 carries for 249 yards and one touchdown in five games this season. A year ago, quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick led the Dolphins with 243 yards on the ground. Miami averaged an NFL-low 72.3 rushing yards per game in ‘19.
