These two teams mirror each other on "D" as they are fast and physical with good fronts who get after the QB and solid Secondaries anchored by their Safeties. Having said all of that the Colts leading 15-14 in a tight one after three put seven up in the last frame and that holds up to be the winning score 22-14 Colts as they sweep the titans in the season series and all but lock up the AFC South.

Colts QB Andrew Luck threw for just 200 yards on 17 of 32 and an INT as the Colts and O-Coordinator Pep Hamilton have to figure out why the Colts are struggling in their scheme. The Titans held them right above 100 yards but 42 of that was Luck getting out of the pocket to make a play or two. Colts RB Donald Brown has assumed #1 RB Duties and runs for 54 yards on 14 carries as he gets a score. Colts Place Kicker Adam Vinatieri made five FGs to account for 15 of the Colts 22. It was just one of those field position type of games and both D's were letting you move the Pig from the 30 to 30 but after that it was tough sledding.

Titans QB Ryan Fitzpatrick was 21 of 37 for 201 yards but those 3 INTs were costly as his decision-making is sometimes questionable beyond belief which is a tough pill to swallow as he is Ivy League Undergrad not taking shots. The Titans behind RB CJ2k (18 carries 69 yards), Fitzpatrick (8 carries 54 yards TD), and Shon Greene (10 carries 39 yards) was solid. The Colts just put a lid on everything in the Red Zone and that was the game in a nutshell the Titans inability to capitalize in the Red Zone and make the Play to get seven.

The Colts move to 8-4 and the Titans 5-7 but in front of the Steelers as they hold he tie breaker having beat Pittsburgh in NFL Week 1.
