The Tennessee Titans played hard and, in the end, got the ball bouncing their way for a nail-biting 26-20 win over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 6.

The Titans' offense was at the heart of the frustration and, once again, couldn't get going in the first half, running only 20 plays and being completely dominated by the Colts' defense. The Titans lack an identity, and their conservative, run-heavy first-half approach only gave Indianapolis field position and time of possession.

They played better in the second half, but it was still a rough outing for Cam Ward and his offense. Ward did connect with Carnell Tate for his first NFL touchdown, but it was still inconsistent, with missed opportunities,

The Titans' defense did its job, forcing multiple turnovers, keeping the Colts' offense in check, and, most importantly, making plays when needed. Jeffery Simmons led the way with six total tackles, two sacks, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery, but the unit got solid performances from many players and closed out the Colts for the Titans' first win of 2026.

It wasn't the prettiest of wins, but the Titans did just enough to capitalize and end their AFC South losing streak.

Final Score: Titans 26, Colts 20
