LucasOilStadium Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Welcome back, Colts fans! Our 6-3 and AFC South leading Indianapolis Colts are down south in Nashville, Tennessee to play the 4-5 Tennessee Titans in an important AFC South divisional battle for The NFL Network's Thursday Night Football nationally-televised coverage. Colts can use tonight's game with the Titans as a way to bring back their confidence as a team, and vindicate themselves from last Sunday's horrible home loss and blowout to the St. Louis Rams last Sunday. Ram's Tavon Austin burned the Colts especially with his 98-yard punt return, and his two pass receptions from 57 yards and 81 yards from Rams QB Kellen Winslow, earning him NFC Special Teams Player Of The Week at the Colts expense. Only scoring highlight for Indianapolis in that game was a 13-yard touchdown pass to RB Donald Brown from QB Andrew Luck, followed by a successful two-point conversion to TE Coby Fleener on the last scoring highlight by either team, preventing the Colts from being shut out by Rams. Luck is also the top performer for the Colts with his 29 out his 47 passes completed for 353 yards, but suffered 3 of those passes for interceptions in a losing cause. Tennessee meanwhile lost to the previously winless Jacksonville Jaguars, defeating the Titans 29-27 this past Sunday at LP Field, earning Jacksonville their first regular season win in 2013. Colts promoted Da'rick Rogers from the practice squad, cut recently by the Buffalo Bills, and may see active duty providing spark during game action with the receiving corps. He will join T.Y. Hilton, LaVon Brazill, Griff Whalen, and Darius Heyward-Bey, as all of the Colts receivers may see their share of reception to replace veteran and fan favorite Reggie Wayne, who suffered a season-ending knee injury during the Broncos game. Colts backup quarterback Matt Hasselback returns to Nashville as a Colt, where he played two seasons as a Tennessee Titan. In his two season the Titans finished 9-7 in 2011, and as a role as a mentor for Jake Lock 18er, when tnhe Titans finished 2012 with a 6-10 record. Tennessee released Hasselback on March 18, and the Colts signed him off the waiver wire the next day on March 19..Both the Colts and the Titans also adjusted and prepared themselves from their short practice week to accommodate for tonight's Thursday Night Football coverage for The NFL Network. Colts especially took the NFL mandatory day off on Monday, took their team practice all day Tuesday, and travelled to Nashville Wednesday earlier this week. A win tonight by the Colts would give Indianapolis a three-game lead over Tennessee in the AFC South division standings. A Titans win would still put them a game behind the Colts in the AFC South, and even their record at 5-5 for the season. Tonight's is the 38th all-time regular season meeting between the Colts and the Titans, a series dating back when the Baltimore Colts defeated the Houston Oilers 24-20 in their first-ever meeting since the AFL-NFL merger back on November 11, 1970. Baltimore Colts, Cleveland Browns, and the Pittsburgh Steelers entered the AFC conference as part of the Merger agreement back in 1969. Colts also lead the all-time regular season series over the Titans with 23 games won over 14 losses. Colts record was 7-7 when the Titans were the Houston Oilers, but since the NFL divisional realignment in 2002, Indianapolis owns a 16-6 record entering tonight, and are on a three-game winning streak, their last loss on November 10, 2011, when the Colts lost 27-10 at LP Field. Colts defeated and swept the Titans in 2012. Indianapolis defeated Tennessee 19-13 in Nashville on October 28, and later winning again at Indianapolis by the score of 27-23 on December 9. Both the Colts and the Titans are scheduled meet again this season at Indianapolis on December 1. Indianapolis Colts are also the only team in the NFL that have won all their games during their appearances on Thursday Night Football, their most recent TNF win was at EverBank Field at Jacksonville, where the Colts defeated the Jaguars 27-10 on the road back on November 8, 2012. Colts record entering tonight is 6-0 with .1000 winning percentage.
