NASHVILLE, Tenn. —** The Tennessee Titans (6-9) conclude their 2010 season this week, as they travel to Indianapolis to face the division-rival Colts (9-6).  Kickoff at Lucas Oil Stadium (capacity 63,000) is scheduled for 3:15 p.m. CST on Sunday, Jan. 2.  The time was changed from its originally-scheduled start of noon CST. 

THE BROADCAST

This week's game will be televised regionally on CBS, including Nashville affiliate WTVF NewsChannel 5. Jim Nantz will handle play-by-play duties, while Phil Simms will provide analysis.

The Titans Radio Network, including Nashville flagship 104.5 The Zone, will broadcast the game across the Mid-South with the "Voice of the Titans" Mike Keith, analyst Frank Wycheck, sideline reporter Cody Allison and gameday host Larry Stone.

Additionally, Sports USA Radio Network will carry the national radio broadcast.  Tom McCarthy  (play-by-play), Ross Tucker (analyst) and Tony Graziani (sidelines) will provide the call.

LAST WEEK'S GAME

The Titans will attempt to finish the regular season on a winning note after a midseason downturn marred a once-promising campaign. They suffered their seventh loss in their last eight games last week at Kansas City. 

The Chiefs opened the game with 24 unanswered points and held on for a 34-14 victory.  The Titans were unable to overcome two turnovers and 458 total yards by a potent Chiefs offense, led by Matt Cassel's 314 yards and three touchdowns.

Despite the loss, Titans quarterback Kerry Collins achieved a pair of significant milestones.  On a 53-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Kenny Britt, Collins became the 12th player in NFL history to reach the career 40,000-yard passing mark.  Later, he passed Joe Montana (3,409 career completions) for ninth place on the NFL's all-time pass completions list.

After his team fell behind early in the game, Titans running back Chris Johnson was limited to 58 yards on 14 carries.  Nevertheless, with one week remaining on the schedule, Johnson is in third place on the NFL's rushing list with 1,325 yards — 111 yards off the pace of Houston's league-leading Arian Foster (1,436).

Other Titans at or near the top of NFL leaderboards include defensive end Jason Babin, who is tied for second in the league with 12.5 sacks; Britt, in seventh place with an 18.6-yard receiving average; Marc Mariani, ranked third with 1,411 kickoff return yards and ranked second with a 12.9-yard punt return average; and kicker Rob Bironas, whose 95.7 percent accuracy on field goals leads the league.

COLTS PLAYING FOR DIVISION TITLE

While the Titans have been eliminated from playoff contention, the Colts enter the final week of the regular season in first place in the AFC South.  With either a Colts win (or tie) or a Jacksonville Jaguars loss (or tie), the Colts will capture their seventh division title since realignment in 2002.  The Colts or Titans have won every AFC South Championship in that timespan.

Last week, the Colts traveled to Oakland and defeated the Raiders 31-26.  Led by running back Dominic Rhodes' 98 rushing yards, the Colts totaled 191 yards on the ground.  Quarterback Peyton Manning passed for 179 yards and three touchdowns in the victory.

Manning, in his 13th season out of the University of Tennessee, leads the NFL with 4,436 passing yards, and he is tied for second place in the NFL with 31 touchdown passes.   His primary target, wide receiver Reggie Wayne, sits in second place in the league in both catches (102) and receiving yards (1,287).
