DeAndre Hopkins has handed the Houston Texans a seven-point lead at the break in their AFC South showdown against the Tennessee Titans.

Ryan Succop fired the Titans into the lead on the first possession of the game when he made his kick from 35 yards after a solid drive from Zach Mettenberger's offense.

The Texans rallied to take the lead at the start of the second quarter as Brian Hoyer looped the ball to the back of the endzone for Hopkins, who made a leaping grab to secure the 21-yard score.

Bishop Sankey fumbled the ball from the resulting kickoff to hand the Texans good field position to attack the Titans once again, and they were able to extend their advantage when Nick Novak sent a field goal through the posts from 38 yards.
