AFC South standings: Titans maintain commanding lead over Colts

The Colts weren’t able to gain any ground on the Titans after Week 9.

After a dominant, upset victory over the Los Angeles Rams in Week 9, the Tennessee Titans maintain their commanding lead over the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC South standings.

At 7-2, the Titans are still three games plus a tie-breaker ahead of the Colts, who notched an impressive 45-30 win over the New York Jets, a team that defeated the Titans earlier this season.

Here’s a look at the standings after the results of this past week, which included an upset win by the Jacksonville Jaguars over the Buffalo Bills that helped the Titans in the conference standings:

  1. Tennessee Titans (7-2)
  2. Indianapolis Colts (4-5)
  3. Jacksonville Jaguars (2-6)
  4. Houston Texans (1-8)

Tennessee owns a half-game lead over the Baltimore Ravens for the No. 1 seed in the AFC. The Ravens sit at 6-2, while three others teams, the Los Angeles Chargers, Bills and Las Vegas Raiders, are all 5-3.

After successfully navigating its toughest stretch of the season with a 4-0 mark, Tennessee will return home to host the New Orleans Saints, a team that is 5-3 but lost its starting quarterback for the season and is coming off a loss.

The Colts and Jaguars are set to do battle at Lucas Oil Stadium in Week 10, while the Houston Texans will get a much-needed week off after dropping their seventh-straight game.
