Watch: Case Keenum Throws Critical Pick 6 vs. Titans
Vincent Carchietta-USA TODAY Sports

The Houston Texans entered their Sunday matchup with the Tennessee Titans in desperate need of a win in order to keep their playoff hopes alive. 

Unfortunately for the Texans, things have not started very well on that front , with Houston now trailing 13-0 early in the second quarter after a Case Keenum pick-six.

Keenum, who was replacing C.J. Stroud in the starting lineup after the rookie star suffered a concussion, was named the starter on Saturday after a week-long battle with former starter Davis Mills.  

Suffice it to say, that start has not gone well thus far, with the Texans managing just 70 yards of total offense thus far. 

In fact, the one offensive weapon Keenum has been able to utilize thus far has been wideout Noah Brown, who already has five catches for 59 yards, including two big third down and long conversions. 

Outside of that, however, Houston has not been able to find any success, with the rest of the offense combining for 18 yards.

Mills was the one who replaced Stroud after his injury last Sunday.

However, Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans elected to go with Keenum based on his experience in this critical matchup, but considering what is at stake, one has to wonder whether or not he will make the switch to a potentially more capable Mills.
