The Tennessee Titans have imposed their will against the Houston Texans' second-stringers on Sunday, and that narrative continued on into the third quarter when Derrick Henry barreled his 6-foot-3, 247-pound frame into the end zone to extend Tennessee's lead 21-7.

That's about as easy as it gets for the Titans' star tailback.

Bill O'Brien's side, however, wasn't going to simply let its AFC South rivals clinch a Wild Card berth without putting up a fight. Backup signal caller AJ McCarron personified that mentality with an impressive TD scamper to bring Houston within one score late in the third quarter.

That'll do!

A fantastic finish is brewing inside NRG Stadium.
