(No) thanks to a potent running attack featuring Henry, some shaky, undisciplined defense and an all-of-a-sudden stalling offense when they had the ball, the Colts on Sunday went from being tied at 14 early in the third quarter to going into the halftime break trailing by 21, 35-14. But on Sunday it was the Titans who used the Colts' usual strength against them. » FLIP THE SWITCH: While the Colts haven't been too consistent in the first quarter of games this season, they've seemed to figure out a way to turn the tide in the second quarter and moving forward in that period, Indy this year has scored 105 points and allowed just 75 (30-point difference), and that has continued into the third quarter (55-27 advantage) and fourth quarter (68-51 advantage). This time, however, it would be the Titans taking control as the road team. The back-and-forth nature at that point in the ballgame was similar to 17 days prior, when the Colts took on the Titans at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tenn., and the two teams traded scores - either touchdowns or field goals - six times over the first two quarters before the Colts eventually took control late in the third quarter and ended up earning a 17-point road victory. At the 12:51 mark of the second quarter, the Colts and Titans were tied at 14 apiece, and neither team's offense showed any signs of slowing down - Tennessee primarily with its rushing attack, led by Derrick Henry, and Indianapolis primarily getting it done through the air. Tennessee then quickly scored another touchdown, and Indy responded with a quick drive and another touchdown, too. The Colts answered with a touchdown of their own on their first drive. » MAKINGS OF A SHOOTOUT: The Titans methodically moved the ball down the field on their first drive and scored a touchdown.
