Colts Top Titans To Secure Last Playoff Spot

Last updated on Monday, December 31, 2018

(NASHVILLE, TN) - The Indianapolis Colts punched their ticket to the postseason for the first time since 2014 as they shredded the Tennessee Titans 33-17 on Sunday night.

Andrew Luck went 24-for-35 for 285 yards, tossing three touchdowns and an interception.

"It's been a journey, that's for sure," Luck said when talking about the season and where he was personally a year ago. "I think what this team is doing is enjoying the journey."

Luck improved to 11-0 in his career against Tennessee. The Titans were without starting quarterback Marcus Mariota and the Colts defense exploited the weaknesses of backup Blaine Gabbert, intercepting him twice.

The Colts are only the third team ever in NFL history to start a season 1-5 and make the playoffs and now get ready for their third meeting of the season against the AFC South division champion Houston Texans.

Rookie linebacker Darius Leonard set a franchise record with 161 tackles in a single season. The Colts and Texans kickoff the entire NFL postseason on Saturday at 4:35pm EST.
