NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Titans (0-2) play their second consecutive home game this week, hosting the AFC South rival Indianapolis Colts (2-0). Kickoff at Nissan Stadium (capacity 69,143) is scheduled for 12 p.m. CDT on Sunday, Sept. 21.
At halftime, the Titans will induct former play-by-play announcer and vice president of broadcasting Mike Keith into their Ring of Honor. Keith, known by fans as the "Voice of the Titans," called every game for Titans Radio from 1998 through 2024. In January 2025, he departed to become the assistant athletics director of broadcasting and "Voice of the Vols" for the University of Tennessee. Keith will become the 19th member of the Ring of Honor.

TITANS LOOKING FOR FIRST WIN
The Titans played their home opener in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Rams. Rookie quarterback Cam Ward completed his first touchdown pass, and Joey Slye added four field goals. But ultimately, the Rams prevailed by a final score of 33-19.
Ward started each of the past two games, including last week against the Rams. He completed 19-of-33 passes for 175 yards, including a nine-yard touchdown to fellow rookie Elic Ayomanor late in the second quarter. Ward is the second quarterback in franchise history (Marcus Mariota, 2015) to record starts in the first two games of his rookie season.
Slye's four field goals included a 57-yarder in the third quarter, which was the second-longest field goal in franchise annals. Slye also made a 55-yarder to become the first player in franchise history to record two field goals of 55-plus yards in the same game. His eight field goals (eight attempts) through two games are the most in franchise history through two weeks of a season.
On defense, linebacker Cody Barton recorded an interception—his first in a Titans uniform and the sixth of his career. It gave the Titans five total forced turnovers in the first two games, which matches the high for the team through the first two weeks of a season during the team's "Titans era" (1999 to present). In that span, the only other occasions in which the team forced five turnovers through two weeks was 2008 (five) and 2019 (five).
THE COLTS
The Colts enter Week 3 atop the AFC South. After beating the Miami Dolphins in their opener, they welcomed the Denver Broncos to Lucas Oil Stadium in Week 2. A 45-yard field goal by Spencer Shrader with no time remaining gave the Colts a 29-28 victory over the Broncos.
Quarterback Daniel Jones is in his first season with the Colts after spending his first six NFL seasons with the New York Giants. Through two starts this season, he has completed 45-of-63 passes for 588 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions (111.1 passer rating).
Colts head coach Shane Steichen is in his third season with the team. The former Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator guided the Colts to a 9-8 record in 2023 and an 8-9 mark in 2024.
