The Tennessee Titans will look to get to over .500 for the first time this year when they meet the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium in Week 5.
Unlike the Titans, the Colts have tasted a record above .500 this year, but they came back down to even after dropping their Week 4 game against the Los Angeles Rams, giving them a 2-2 record like the rest of the division.
The winner of this game will have a share of first place, at least, but the Titans or Colts may sit atop the division alone if both the Jacksonville Jaguars and Houston Texans lose their respective games.
For most teams, the potential return of Colts running back Jonathan Taylor would be a pretty big concern, but the Titans currently sport the No. 4 run defense in the NFL, and Tennessee has been elite in that area for two-plus years now.
Further, Taylor hasn’t had any success against Tennessee over his young career, with the Wisconsin product averaging just 49.2 yards per over five games.
Now, a look at the Titans’ reasons for optimism and concern going into their Week 5 battle against the Colts.
