A showdown in the AFC South lived up to the hype in the first half. The Tennessee Titans struck first with a quick drive and a score, but Phillip Rivers and the Colts were quick to answer.
A 10-10 tie was broken in the second quarter by Jonnu Smith, who scored on a jet sweep rushing attempt from the goal line, but Rivers was able to put something together before halftime to cut the lead down to 17-13.
After a half of football, the Colts were dominating the time of possession stats, but the efficient Titans’ offense was able to handle the Colts’ third ranked defense and cash in when it mattered.
