Tennessee Titans vs Indianapolis Colts Game Preview

Tennessee is one of the least productive offenses in the league right now -- points per drive rank at 3rd pctl, explosive passing at 9th pctl, early-down success at 6th pctl, pace at 5th pctl. Possessions go nowhere quickly and rarely produce points. Their defense also fails to force turnovers at a meaningful rate (6th pctl).

Indianapolis has its own limitations -- third-down conversion at 25th pctl, protection allowing sacks at a 75th pctl rate -- but the Colts convert in the red zone (78th pctl) and score at a 69th pctl rate per drive, giving them a clear offensive edge. This matchup sets up as a field position and run game contest between two units short on explosiveness.

Check back the day before the game for the full preview and picks.

Tennessee Titans vs Indianapolis Colts Key Insights

  • Whether Tennessee's offense (3rd pctl points per drive) can generate enough to stay competitive against an Indianapolis unit that finishes drives (78th pctl red zone TD rate)
  • Indianapolis's protection (75th pctl sack rate allowed) against Tennessee's middling pass rush (52nd pctl) -- the Colts' OL is a notable weakness even in a game they should control
  • Turnover generation on both sides: both teams rank at just 6th pctl defensively, meaning clean possession football is likely from both units
