3 TITANS-COLTS SERIES HISTORY This week s game is the first time the Titans and Colts have met on Monday Night Football as inhabitants of their current cities. They met once before on Monday night on Nov. 1, 1976, a game the Baltimore Colts won over the Houston Oilers The Titans rivalry with the Colts has become one of the team s most hotly contested match-ups in recent seasons. The teams are split in the four meetings since October 2006, and the four games have been decided by a total of 12 points. Most recently, in last year s regular season finale in Indianapolis (Dec. 30), the Titans needed a win to secure a postseason berth. With the Colts having already clinched their fifth consecutive division title, the Titans escaped with a victory, propelling them to the Wild Card round of the playoffs. Quarterback Kerry Collins came off the bench to lead two drives for field goals in the fourth quarter. In 2002, the first year the Titans and Colts met as opponents in the newly-formed AFC South, the Titans won both games on their way to claiming the first AFC South title. The Colts then won seven consecutive meetings, taking both games in the 2003, 2004 and 2005 seasons and the first meeting in Indianapolis has taken the division crown every year since The Titans and Colts have met only once in the postseason. The Titans won by a final score of in a Divisional Playoff game against the Colts on Jan. 16, Eddie George rushed for 162 yards, including a 68-yard touchdown run to help lead Tennessee during its run to Super Bowl XXXIV. The teams first met in 1970 following the AFL-NFL merger. The then-baltimore Colts defeated the then-houston Oilers during the Colts run to a Super Bowl V Championship. In 27 all-time meetings, the Colts lead the series TITANS-COLTS: THE LAST MEETING Tennessee Titans 16 at Indianapolis Colts 10 Sunday, Dec. 30, 2007 RCA Dome, Indianapolis, Ind Final Tennessee Titans Indianapolis Colts The Titans earned the sixth and final AFC playoff berth of the 2007 season with a win against the Colts in the final regular season game at the RCA Dome. Three field goals by Rob Bironas, including a go-ahead 54-yarder, provided the winning margin for the Titans, who improved their record to The Titans opened the contest with an 11-play, 79-yard drive that consumed more than six minutes. Running back LenDale White gained 36 yards on five carries, including consecutive runs of 13 and 15 yards on the first two plays from scrimmage. Chris Brown capped the scoring drive with an eight-yard touchdown run. The Colts moved the ball down the field on their first possession, but safety Michael Griffin knocked the ball loose from wide receiver Reggie Wayne at the Tennessee 19-yard line. The fumble was recovered by linebacker David Thornton. The Colts next drive also stalled on the Tennessee 19-yard line, and Adam Vinatieri kicked a 37-yard field goal to cut the Titans lead to 7-3 four minutes into the second quarter. Jim Sorgi took the reigns at quarterback on the next series for the Colts, who already had secured the second overall seed in the playoffs. Starter Peyton Manning was 14-of-16 for 95 yards before leaving the game. Neither team scored again until the third quarter. Linebacker Rocky Boiman recovered a fumble by White to give the Colts the ball on Tennessee s 30-yard line. An unnecessary roughness penalty on the Titans on the next play moved the ball to the 15-yard line, and three plays later Sorgi found Craphonso Thorpe for a three-yard touchdown strike and Indianapolis first lead of the game at The Colts tallied three of their four second-half first downs on the short drive. But the Titans turned each of their next three drives into successful field goal attempts. The first of those drives was interrupted by an injury to starting quarterback Vince Young, who left the game and would not return with a right quadriceps injury. Kerry Collins entered in relief and helped finish the 56-yard drive that took more than eight minutes off the clock. Bironas made a 40-yard field goal to tie the game. The Titans were pinned back on the six-yard line to begin the next drive, their first of the fourth quarter. Collins completed a seven-yard pass to Roydell Williams on third-and-six to continue the drive, which ended with a 54-yard field goal by Bironas. Bironas added a 33-yard field goal with 2:56 remaining on the clock, giving the Titans their final score in the victory. The Titans gained 356 total yards in the game to the Colts 194 yards, and the Titans controlled the ball for 35:32. They converted eight of 15 third-down attempts (53 percent). The quarterback duo of Young (14-18, 157 yards) and Collins (10-13, 106 yards) completed 24 of 31 pass attempts for 263 yards and no interceptions (101.9 combined passer rating).

FIRST QUARTER DEFENSE An element in Tennessee s success has been the team s ability to build an early lead. They have been effective in doing so in many of their recent games dating back to the last month of the 2007 season, due in large part to opposing teams inability to score in the first quarter. The Titans have not allowed an opponent to score a touchdown in the first quarter since the Texans found the end zone on Dec. 2, Tennessee s streak is now at 10 consecutive regular season games without allowing a touchdown in the first quarter. In that time period, only the Cleveland Browns (seven) have allowed fewer points in the first quarter than the Titans, who have surrendered nine first-quarter points in those 10 contests. The Chiefs game on Oct. 19 was the fourth time in six games this season the Titans did not allow their opponents to score at all in the first quarter.
