NASHVILLE — The Indianapolis Colts are the class of the AFC South. After walloping the Tennessee Titans 34-17 on Thursday night in Nashville, the Colts jumped to 6-3 on the season and to the top of the division standings.
They continue to control their own destiny, an enviable spot to be nine games into the NFL season.
Excuse the cliche but Thursday night was a tale of two halves for the Colts (6-3). While they weren't bad in the first two quarters by any means, they entered intermission trailing their division rivals 17-13.
However, riding a stifling defense, a terrific two-touchdown performance from Nyheim Hines and some abysmal specials teams play by the Titans (6-3), the Colts jumped all over the Titans in the second half.
