Tennessee Titans receiver Tajae Sharpe makes a touchdown catch while in the grasp of Indianapolis Colts cornerback Kenny Moore during the final minutes of Sunday’s game in Indianapolis. The Colts won 38-10 for their fourth straight victory this season, while the Titans lost for the fourth time in six games.INDIANAPOLIS – Tennessee Titans coach Mike Vrabel grabbed the headset and adjusted to calling the defensive plays as quickly as he could Sunday.
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck kept the Titans off balance the rest of the afternoon, improving to 10-0 all-time against his AFC South rivals in a 38-10 victory.
On a day Tennessee quarterback Marcus Mariota left the game with an injured right elbow, the biggest question coming out the afternoon concerned the health of Titans defensive coordinator Dean Pees, who was taken to a nearby hospital during the first quarter.
“Dean’s doing OK. They took him to the hospital, they evaluated him and they’re going to keep him overnight for some tests,” Vrabel said after the game. “Everything that I’ve heard as of now has been very positive.”
Without Pees, the Titans’ usually strong defense didn’t look like itself. Tennessee (5-5) entered the game with the lowest-scoring defense in the NFL this season, the fewest touchdowns allowed and back-to-back second-half shutouts.
