The Colts hold on for a 20-17 win over the Titans

The Colts and Titans battled back and forth on Sunday, but ultimately Indianapolis was able to pull out a 20-17 win.

Trailing 17-10 early in the fourth quarter, the Colts cut the Titans’ lead with a 22-yard field goal after the Club failed to reach the end zone deep in Tennessee territory.

But then Indianapolis took the lead for good on its next drive when quarterback Joe Flacco – starting his second game in place of the injured Anthony Richardson – hit receiver Michael Pittman for a 10-yard touchdown with 7:27 left in the contest.

Tennessee had three more realistic chances to at least tie the game, but couldn’t get it done. The Club went three-and-out on its first chance, quarterback Will Levis threw an interception on an ill-advised deep ball on its second, and the Club stumbled again with 2:18 left in the fourth quarter.

The Titans didn’t get the ball back until there were just 12 seconds on the clock, which was too little, too late.

Flacco finished the game 22 of 38 for 189 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. Josh Downs caught seven passes for 66 yards, leading with a touchdown.

Indianapolis went 7 of 15 on third down and finished with 269 total yards.

Levis was 16 of 27 passing for just 95 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Tony Pollard led the way with 93 yards on 17 carries.

At 3-3, the Colts will face the Dolphins at home next week.

The 1-4 Titans will be on the road to play the Bills in Week 6.
