After coming off a terrible loss on Thursday Night Football in Week 12, the Indianapolis Colts will return home to face another AFC South rival in the Tennessee Titans.

Both teams are coming into this matchup at 6-5 on the season. Currently, the Colts have the tiebreaker with their Week 2 win in Nashville. This game in Indianapolis will go a long way in determining how each team’s season will finish out.

The Titans have one of the best defenses in the NFL, and back in that Week 2 game, the Colts had their lowest total of yards gained in one game.

Even with the 286 yards of offense they were able to get three passing touchdowns from Jacoby Brissett. Let’s take a look at three keys for the offense in this Week 13 battle:

1. Sustaining drives

The first key sounds a lot easier said than done, and that will for sure be the case for Indianapolis on Sunday. In the last matchup between these two teams, the Colts were 7-14 on third down and 1-1 on fourth down. The Titans, on the other hand, were 1-10 on third, and 0-1 on fourth down.

If there is one big strength of the Tennessee defense it’s their third-down defense. The Titans have won four of their last five, and it has been because of their third-down defense.

Over their past five games their defense is allowing 25-57 conversion rates on third down. On the season, Tennessee is top-10 in third-down defense at a 35% conversion rate.
