Colts Face Titans in Pivotal Game for Playoff Hopes

Indianapolis must win to keep slim postseason chances alive, while Tennessee looks to play spoiler and evaluate its quarterback options.

The Indianapolis Colts (6-8) need a victory over the Tennessee Titans (3-11) to maintain their 11-12% chance of making the AFC playoffs.
The Titans have benched quarterback Will Levis in favor of Mason Rudolph, who will make his fourth start of the season with mixed results thus far.
Colts running back Jonathan Taylor aims to rebound from a costly fumble last week, facing a strong Titans defense that ranks third against the pass but struggles against the run.
Tennessee’s Tony Pollard, nearing his third consecutive 1,000-yard rushing season, is expected to play a key role against the Colts’ bottom-tier run defense.
The Colts are slight favorites (-3.5) in this divisional matchup, which could eliminate them from playoff contention with a loss or tie depending on other results.
