INDIANAPOLIS — The Tennessee Titans take their 0-5 record on the road Sunday for a noon Central kickoff against the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium, still searching for a first win in an AFC South rematch.
Indianapolis holds a 41-22 edge in the all-time series, counting playoffs, and has taken the last six meetings after Tennessee won five in a row from 2020 to 2022. Indianapolis sits 2-3 and second in the division behind Jacksonville.
Quarterback Cam Ward completed 23 of 36 passes for 170 yards in last week’s 26-3 home loss to Houston. Across five starts he is 98 of 155 for 896 yards, matching three scores with three picks, and he is one of only four every-week starters without multiple passing touchdowns in any game so far.
Tennessee’s rushing attack ranks near the bottom of the league at about 82.6 yards per game, while the Colts allow about 130 rushing yards per game. Running back Tony Pollard managed 52 yards on 14 carries against Houston, and Tyjae Spears is dealing with a knee issue that could open more work for Nick Singleton.
Indianapolis leans on Jonathan Taylor, who has 398 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns this season. Across his last three games versus Tennessee, Taylor stacked 510 yards from scrimmage and nine scores. Colts quarterback Daniel Jones has 1,021 passing yards with three scores and four interceptions in 2026.
Tennessee’s defense has posted multiple sacks in four straight games. The Titans need takeaways against Jones and a cleaner first-down plan on offense if they are to leave Lucas Oil with their first win.
The game is part of the regional FOX window, and Nashville radio carries the Titans Radio Network call. Tennessee is one of only a few NFL clubs still without a win, which raises the stakes of every early-down failure against a familiar division foe.
