Colts Fall To Titans On Monday Night Football

Last updated on Tuesday, October 17, 2017

(NASHVILLE, TN) - The Tennessee Titans ended their 11-game losing streak to the Indianapolis Colts with a 36-22 victory on Monday Night Football.

Two late touchdowns by Tennessee not only put an exclamation point on their win but continued the nightmarish trend the Colts have had in the second half of games this season. Through the first six games of the season Indianapolis has now been outscored 85-22 in fourth quarters alone.

Titans' running back Derrick Henry racked up 131 yards on the ground, including a 72-yard touchdown with under a minute remaining to put the game away. Marcus Mariota threw for 306 yards and hit Taywan Taylor for a 53-yard strike.

"Disappointing to say the least," Chuck Pagano said after the latest second-half collapse. "Got to play 60 minutes. It's a recurring thing I know that."

Jacoby Brissett threw for 212 yards and a touchdown while Adam Vinateri went 3-for-3 on field goals, including a 52-yarder.

The Colts fall to 2-4 and are in the basement of the AFC South with the Jacksonville Jaguars next on tap.

Meanwhile, former Colts quarterback, and teammate of Andrew Luck, Matt Hasselbeck said he doesn't believe No. 12 is remotely close to being back on the field.

Ahead of Monday Night Football's telecast Hasselbeck told ESPN in his eyes Luck is a ways away from returning to game action.

"I'm not a doctor, but I watch practice. And I know who he was as a thrower and I see where he is now in his rehab and he's not close."
