No one believed in the Colts.

Now they’re 9-4, and showing a knack for winning games when it looks like they should lose.

Andrew Luck didn’t have his best day, with two cosmetic interceptions (one which should have been overturned, one a Hail Mary at the end of the half. He was 16-of-34 for 196 yards and a touchdown, but made several key throws late to keep the clock moving, and to put them in position for two fourth-quarter field goals by Adam Vinatieri.

The Titans fell to 4-9 with the loss, and they have only themselves to blame.

They did silly things throughout the game, but Jake Locker going for a sneak on first down (not realizing they had just converted the play before) might have been the capper.
