Titans' defense finding playmakers, growing rapidly before our eyes

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- A crew of Tennessee Titans formed a half-circle near midfield around linebacker Wesley Woodyard. They bowed down to Woodyard and simulated taking pictures like the paparazzi. This was the reward of being of a playmaker.

Woodyard had chased down dual-threat Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett for a big stop on fourth-and-1 to halt an Indianapolis comeback attempt in Monday night's contest. It capped off a strong second-half performance by an improving Titans defense.

"This 31-year-old still got a little wheels," said Woodyard, who had eight tackles and recovered a fumble forced by fellow linebacker Avery Williamson.
