Which players will have the biggest chance to impact the Tennessee Titans game vs the Indianapolis Colts.

A month ago, the Tennessee Titans going on a road trip to Ohio to take on the buzzy Cleveland Browns only to come on home to take on the Indianapolis Colts in their home opener seemed like a recipe for disaster.

If you don’t know, a team only has a 10% of making the playoffs if you start the season 0-2 when you look over the last 30 years or so.

However, the Titans don’t have to worry about that after winning a dominant road game 43-13 in Cleveland a few days ago.

Another big concern alleviated over the past month is that the Titans also don’t have to worry about Andrew Luck since he obviously retired.

That has completely changed the complexion of the game on Sunday and Tennessee Titans fans should be absolutely fired up about it.

Now, the Colts aren’t a joke and they proved that in a close loss to the banged up L.A. Chargers on Sunday. But now they have to go on the road again and take on a Titans team that is supremely confident in their offense and defense.

Those are the facts right now, but in every game there are “X-factors” that can completely change the game in one way or another. I’m going to take my best guess at which players on both sides have a chance to be the “X-factor” based on what we know now.
