The Tennessee Titans recorded a 19-17 loss in a close game the last time they faced the Indianapolis Colts.
Tennessee has struggled against the team in recent history, but isn’t concerned with that track record.
Titans head coach Mike Vrabel believes tackling will be a factor in ultimately pulling off the win this time around.
“When you look back, we have to be able to tackle (better),” he said in a presser on Monday. “We played the run well up until late in the game, and they busted one.”

But Vrabel isn’t too concerned about the past heading into Sunday’s matchup, and just wants to see his team continue trending upward in the right direction that it has been.
“I don’t think whatever we have done against them before I was here or while I have been here is going to have much bearing on the game on Sunday,” he added. “The focus is going to be on this Colts team, our team here trying to go on the road against a division opponent. And the chance to get to 7 and 5 is really the most important thing.”
The Titans come off a dominant performance against another division opponent in the Jacksonville Jaguars, particularly from quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who was 14-of-18 passes for 259 yards with two passing and two rushing touchdowns on the 42-20 home victory.
