Texans vs. Titans Matchup Trolled by The Weather Channel Amid Matchup of 0-4 NFL Teams

Things are going so bad for the Houston Texans and Tennessee Titans that both teams are being trolled by the Weather Channel ahead of their Week 5 matchup.

After it was suggested on X the NFL flex the Texas-Titans game to the Weather Channel, the network responded in cheeky fashion.

The game is scheduled for the 1 p.m. ET window on Sunday, so it's not as if the eyes of the nation will be glued to their screens for the clash of the AFC South rivals.

This does, however, speak to the depressing state of both franchises right now. The Texans, in particular, were a popular Super Bowl pick coming into the season.

Among ESPN's panel of analysts and experts, the Texans were the third-most picked AFC Super Bowl representative behind the Denver Broncos and Buffalo Bills.

Instead, Houston has lost its first four games to start a season for the first time since 2020. The vaunted defense is allowing the seventh-most points per game and has already given up more 30-point games (two) than it did all last season (one).

Tennessee's expectations were far more modest, but the hope was progress would be evident in the first season with Robert Saleh as head coach. The defense is at least playing fairly well, ranking ninth in points allowed per game thus far.

The bad news is the Titans offense still looks like a mess. Cam Ward has improved from an ugly rookie season, but he ranks 21st out of 30 qualified quarterbacks in QBR and has just three touchdown passes in four games.

Carnell Tate did have his best game in Week 4 with 145 receiving yards on nine receptions, so that's something to be encouraged by.

In the battle between the stoppable force and movable object, someone presumably has to win in Week 5.
