Texans–Titans rivalry

Common card · No. 329679

The Texans–Titans rivalry is a National Football League (NFL) rivalry between the Houston Texans and Tennessee Titans. The Titans franchise began as the Houston Oilers before relocating to Tennessee in the 1997 season, leaving Houston without an NFL team. The team was renamed the Tennessee Titans in 1999. In 2002, the NFL awarded Houston an expansion team, the Houston Texans, and established the AFC South division as part of league realignment. Both the Texans and Titans were placed in the new division, resulting in two annual meetings between Houston’s new franchise and the successor to its former team. During the 2000s, the Titans held the early advantage in the series. In subsequent years, the Texans became more competitive, leading to a more balanced rivalry and a closely contested overall series record. The Texans lead the overall series, 25–24. The two teams have not met in the playoffs.
