NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Nissan Stadium was hardly full Sunday.
But I looked around as Texans left tackle Jeff Allen got called for three successive false starts late in the game, and the lower bowl was crowded.
In combination with the patch club level and upper deck crowd, those in attendance made enough noise to help flummox the visitors 
and influence a 24-13 win that got the Titans to 8-4.
And maybe there was a bit of a turning point in there.
There was less negative overreaction from the fanbase, and I sensed more buzz.
Whether there is or isn't, it's time for fans to accept this team for who it is. It's not going to win beauty contests, but it is going to win games. And as Delanie Walker told me, "Who said football was pretty? It's ugly, It's an ugly sport."
