Key Stats
Tennessee Titans
The Tennessee Titans are coming off a double-digit loss last week against the Cincinnati Bengals, 37-27. Will Levis was benched for Mason Rudolph in the game. Rudolph will start this game against the Colts. He was good when he entered the game in the second half. Rudolph completed 21 of 26 passes for 209 yards, 2 touchdowns, and an interception. Tyjae Spears led the team with 85 receiving yards on 5 catches. He also scored 2 touchdowns, one receiving and one rushing. Chig Okonkwo was solid with 8 catches for 59 yards. With Rudolph under center, this offense looked like a legit NFL offense.
Tennessee’s defense has been one of the worst in the NFL in some aspects. They are ranked 29th in points allowed per game, 3rd in passing yards allowed per game, 12th in rushing yards allowed per game, 30th in offensive touchdowns allowed, 26th in sacks, and 15th in takeaways per game. In terms of injuries, they have a lot of players in the injury report. Tony Pollard, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Tyler Boyd, Kenneth Murray Jr., T’Vondre Sweat, Daryl Worley, Luke Gifford, and Nick Folk are all listed as questionable for this game. At this point in the season, they need to tank for a better draft pick.
Indianapolis Colts
The Indianapolis Colts are looking to bounce back from their loss last week to the Denver Broncos 31-13. Anthony Richardson was subpar in the loss. He completed 17 of 38 passes for 172 yards and 2 interceptions. Jonathan Taylor had a great game with 107 rushing yards on 22 carries. Michael Pittman Jr. led the team in receiving yards with 58 on 6 catches.
Tight end Kylen Granson caught 3 passes for 47 receiving yards. When Richardson is on with his accuracy, this team looks like a contender in the AFC South. The only problem is that he is one of the most inaccurate quarterbacks in the NFL.
Defensively, this has been one of the worst teams in the NFL. They are ranked 21st in points allowed per game, 23rd in passing yards allowed per game, 30th in rushing yards allowed per game, 16th in offensive touchdowns allowed, 17th in sacks, and 7th in takeaways per game. When you look at the injury report, there are some key names to look at. Alec Pierce, Michael Pittman Jr., Mo Alie-Cox, EJ Speed, and Laiatu Latu. If any of Anthony Richardson’s weapons miss this game, they will be big losses for a team that can be offensively challenged at times during the season.
Prediction
The Tennessee Titans are going to upset the Indianapolis Colts in this game. First of all, this is a bad matchup for Anthony Richardson. He is going against the 3rd best pass defense in the NFL. His legs might cause problems for the Titans, but this is a different team with Mason Rudolph under center. In the three games he played while Will Levis was injured, he was solid against the Lions, Bills, and Patriots. The Colts can’t stop the run and Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears are an underrated one-two punch in the NFL. Tennessee pulls off the upset and ends the Colts’ season in Indianapolis.
