The Tennessee Titans put up a good fight with the Colts but they fell just a little bit short on the scoreboard. The Titans had a good plan on offense and they didn’t have trouble moving the football against the Colts’ defense. QB Vince Young completed 17 of 27 passes for 184 yards with 1 TD pass and he also carried the ball 5 times for 53 yards (10.6 ypc). LenDale White was also solid running the football as he toted the rock 15 times for 64 yards (4.3 ypc) with 1 TD run. Chris Brown couldn’t repeat his success of last week as he carried the ball 12 times for 34 yards (2.8 ypc). Young WRs Roydell Williams (4 rec, 72 yards, TD) and Brandon Jones (5 rec, 57 yards) both stepped up for the Titans yesterday in the passing game. The Titans finished up with 141 yards rushing on 34 carries (4.1 ypc) and they also completed 17 of 27 passes for 172 yards.

The defense was led by ex-Colts LB David Thornton (10 tackles) and ex-Colts CB Nick Harper (8 tackles). The Titans had issues with the passing game as they just couldn’t get to Peyton Manning. The Colts finished up completing 28 of 42 passes for 300 yards against the Titans defense. The Titans did hold the Colts to 81 yards on 22 carries (3.7 ypc) as their run defense continues to improve over last year.
