The Colts have yet to reach the endzone against the Titans.

Thankfully for them, they have Adam Vinatieri on their side.

Five Vinatieri field goals have given the Colts a 15-14 early fourth-quarter lead over the Titans in Indianapolis.

Titans miscues have helped the Colts’ cause. Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has thrown two picks and lost a fumble, which Indianapolis has turned into six points.

Fitzpatrick has run for a one-yard TD and has thrown a one-yard TD to Chris Johnson.

The Colts have again received little from their running game (14 carries, 28 yards). Also, quarterback Andrew Luck has been sacked five times. Still, they have a narrow lead over Tennessee, and it has much to do with their special teams and defense.
