Tennessee breaks through
The Tennessee Titans earned their first victory of the season with a 20-point fourth quarter, rallying past the Indianapolis Colts 26-20 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Week 6. Tennessee entered halftime down 13-0 after neither team scored in the opening quarter. The Titans cut the deficit to 13-6 in the third, then outscored Indianapolis 20-7 in the fourth to finish the comeback. The win lifted Tennessee to 1-5 after losses to Houston and Baltimore in its previous two games. Indianapolis fell to 2-4 with its second consecutive defeat.
Defense and Tate give Titans a lift
Tennessee’s defense recorded six sacks, intercepted two passes and recovered a fumble. Indianapolis gained 399 yards, but those disruptive plays gave the Titans a counterweight to a limited passing performance. Cam Ward completed 11 of 22 passes for 102 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Carnell Tate accounted for 70 of those receiving yards, catching six of seven targets and scoring Tennessee’s receiving touchdown. Tony Pollard added 76 yards on 19 carries. Jonathan Taylor led the Colts with 94 rushing yards and a touchdown on 21 carries, plus two receptions for 57 yards. Daniel Jones threw for 269 yards and a touchdown on 22-of-42 passing, but also threw two interceptions. He added 30 rushing yards. Keenan Allen caught eight of 11 targets for 82 yards. Mo Alie-Cox turned his lone target into a one-yard touchdown reception.
Taylor leads the fantasy returns
Taylor delivered the game’s highest player PPR total at 21.1 points, combining 151 yards from scrimmage with his rushing touchdown. Allen’s eight catches helped him reach 16.2 points. Tate scored 19.0 PPR points despite Tennessee’s modest passing total, while Ward finished with 6.8. That gap underscored how concentrated the Titans’ receiving production was: Tate drew seven targets and caught more than half of Ward’s completions. Tennessee’s defense also posted 19.0 fantasy points, and Joey Slye supplied 18.0. Pollard’s 76 rushing yards yielded 7.6 points.
Week 7 brings Cleveland and Minnesota
The Titans host the Cleveland Browns on Oct. 25 at 1 p.m. ET, seeking a second straight win. The Colts visit the Minnesota Vikings at the same time, looking to stop their two-game skid.
