Tennessee Titans: 3 offensive keys to victory vs. Colts
By John Lowell
There are three offensive keys to victory for the Tennessee Titans in their Week 2 collision with the Indianapolis Colts.
The Tennessee Titans have been given the gift of a lifetime. The Indianapolis Colts are finally without a franchise quarterback. They are a solid, well-coached team overall, but the Colts were built around one thing in particular — former QB Andrew Luck.
Their defense is on the smaller side, but fast and able to do just enough for Luck to outscore you. The blueprint was apparent, and yet not many teams could keep up with Luck’s pedigree. After a plethora of injuries, it finally felt like the former Stanford grad was healthy and excited to play football again. It was almost child-like.
The chips were falling in all the right places, and general manager Chris Ballard had fostered a stalwart, complementary football team. Some analysts favored them to win the Super Bowl this year.
There’s only one problem: there’s no Andrew Luck to outscore opposing teams, and that’s precisely how they continually beat the Titans, who are not built to play from behind.
The Titans’ game script is simple: get a fast start, and let running back Derrick Henry abuse opposing defenses late in the second half. With that in mind, let’s stiff-arm our way into the three offensive keys to victory for the Titans vs. the Colts.
