The Colts (6-3) will host the rematch in Indianapolis on Nov. 29 after helping coach Frank Reich improve to 4-1 against Titans coach Mike Vrabel.
Indianapolis is 14-5 at Nissan Stadium. “We get a huge special teams touchdown and then offensively, shoot, we were rolling pretty good all day,” Rivers said. "We were very balanced, kind of got in a rhythm with the no-huddle.
This was a huge road division win.”Indianapolis came in with the NFL's best defense in terms of fewest yards allowed. The Colts smothered a Tennessee.
