Texans push winning streak to eight games

Deshaun Watson threw for 210 yards and two touchdowns and ran for a third as the Texans set a franchise record with their eighth straight win, 34-17 over the Tennessee Titans on Monday night in Houston. Demaryius Thomas scored his first two touchdowns as a Texan and Lamar Miller ran for 162 yards, including a 97-yard TD. In the first game since founder and owner Robert “Bob” McNair died Friday, the Texans (8-3) honoured him by wearing decals on the back of their helmets in the shape of a football with white block letters bearing his initials of “RCM.” They became the first team in NFL history to win eight games in a row after opening a season 0-3. The Texans trailed by 10 to Tennessee (5-6) early before reeling off 27 straight points.
