In the game, the Colts gained momentum in the second quarter and carried it into the first half, scoring steadily before halftime. Tennessee answered with a late surge in the second half, turning up the pressure and making timely plays to swing the momentum in their favor. A 58-yard punt return in the fourth quarter set up a Titans touchdown to tie the game at 13, erasing a double-digit deficit. After another Colts drive, Tennessee’s special teams blocked a punt, giving the Titans their first lead of the game and of the season. Carnell Tate’s first career reception for a touchdown helped tie things at 13-13 early in the fourth, and a blocked punt returned for a touchdown later in the quarter put Tennessee ahead 20-13, ultimately sealing the victory.
The win also ended two troubling skids for Tennessee. They snapped an 11-game losing streak against divisional opponents, including the Colts, and extended their winless run against AFC South foes to end the day on a high note. The result added another memorable chapter to the Titans’ 2026 season, showcasing resilience after a rough start.
