TITANS ENTER SECOND WEEK UNDER McCOY
The Titans hosted the New England Patriots last week in Mike McCoy's first game as interim head coach. He was named to the post on Monday, Oct. 13. The Titans led New England 10-3 and 13-10 during the first half, but in the second half, the Patriots pulled away for a 31-13 victory.
Rookie quarterback Cam Ward started for the seventh consecutive week to begin the season. The first-overall draft pick had his best completion percentage (73.5), yards-per-attempt average (7.50) and passer rating (92.2) of the season against the Patriots, completing 25-of-34 passes for 255 yards. He found another rookie, wide receiver Chimere Dike, for a 38-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter.
Dike, a fourth-round pick, had four receptions for 70 yards—all in the first quarter. He had the most receiving yards by a Titans rookie in the first quarter of a game since Justin McCareins posted 70 against Tampa Bay on Oct. 14, 2001.
The Titans defense combined for a season-high four sacks against the Patriots—one each by nose tackle T'Vondre Sweat, safety Xavier Woods, and outside linebackers Jihad Ward and Dre'Mont Jones. It was the team's first game with four or more sacks since a four-sack performance at Houston on Nov. 24, 2024.
THE COLTS
The Colts are in first place in the AFC South after their 38-24 road victory over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 7, which gave them a two-game lead over the second-place Jacksonville Jaguars (4-3). Last week was their fifth time in 2025 eclipsing the 30-point mark, and they average a league-best 33.1 points per game.
Quarterback Daniel Jones is in his first season with the Colts after spending his first six NFL seasons with the New York Giants. Through seven starts in 2025, he has passed for 1,790 yards with 10 touchdowns, three interceptions and a 105.9 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.
