HOUSTON (AP) - The Houston Texans decided that resting some banged up players before next week's playoff game was more important than beating the Tennessee Titans. Houston had no chance to improve its playoff seeding after Kansas City won earlier Sunday. Quarterback Deshaun Watson was active but did not play against the Titans, who won 35-14. The Texans beat the Titans two weeks ago to take control of the AFC South and locked up the division last week. Houston will host Buffalo in the first round of the playoffs.
