Overview
- The game is scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 18 at Lucas Oil Stadium with kickoff listed at 12:00 p.m. CT and will air on FOX.
- Tennessee enters 0-5 and ranks dead last in the NFL in scoring (11.6 points per game) and total offense (246.4 yards per game), making its offense the central concern going into Week 6.
- Rookie quarterback Cam Ward has struggled, carrying a 3-19 record as a starter and averaging about 5.8 yards per pass attempt this season, which has compounded Tennessee’s inability to sustain drives.
- Oddsmakers and most staff previews list Indianapolis as roughly a 7-point favorite with moneyline odds heavily favoring the Colts, who plan to rely on Jonathan Taylor and a ball-control run game to manage the clock.
- Indianapolis has won six straight meetings with Tennessee, averaging 31.8 points in that stretch, and a loss to the winless Titans would raise immediate questions about the Colts’ coaching and playoff outlook.
