Tennessee Titans, Indianapolis Colts Game History

November 30, 2019 |

Nashville, TN – The Tennessee Titans and the Indianapolis Colts have played 50 all-time games, including playoffs. The Colts lead the series 34-16, including a current three-game winning streak.

In the first meeting of 2019, played on September 15th, the Colts invaded Nissan Stadium and escaped with a 19-17 victory. The Titans held the lead going into the fourth quarter, but a four-yard touchdown pass from Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett to receiver T.Y. Hilton with less than five minutes remaining in regulation was enough to give Indianapolis the win.

The last time the Titans and Colts played at Lucas Oil Stadium was November 18th, 2018. Colts quarterback Andrew Luck totaled 297 yards and three touchdown passes to lead the Colts to a 38-10 victory.

Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota left the game in the second quarter due to an elbow injury.

In the 2018 season finale at Nissan Stadium (December 30th), the Titans and Colts played to decide who would clinch a playoff berth as the AFC’s sixth seed. The Titans were forced to play the game without an injured Mariota, and the Colts pulled away in the fourth quarter for a 33-17 victory.

In 2017, the Titans swept the season series with the Colts for the first time since 2002. Prior to 2017, the Colts swept the season series every year from 2012 through 2016.

The Titans and Colts have met only once in the postseason, a 19-16 Titans victory in a Divisional Playoff game in the RCA Dome on January 16th, 1999. Eddie George rushed for 162 yards, including a 68-yard touchdown run to help lead Tennessee during its run to Super Bowl XXXIV.

Three years later, in 2002, the NFL realigned, and the AFC South was created. The Titans moved from the AFC Central, and the Colts moved from the AFC East to form half of the new division.

The teams first clashed in 1970 following the AFL-NFL merger. The then-Baltimore Colts defeated the then-Houston Oilers 24-20 during the Colts’ run to a Super Bowl V Championship.
