5-6. . Tennessee Titans. 17. team. 35.

No, not even a red-hot quarterback Marcus Mariota could save the Tennessee Titans from a 24-17 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.

Things got off to a bad start for the Titans in the first quarter, when the Colts managed a Robert Turbin rushing touchdown and another touchdown from quarterback Andrew Luck to wide receiver Donte Moncrief.

Those were blows from which Tennessee simply couldn’t recover.

Being penalized 11 times for 109 yards also hurt the Titans’ chances, although this group has shown a great deal of improvement over what was seen a year ago at this time.
