Philip Rivers, Colts Capitalize on Titans' Special Teams Woes in 34-17 TNF Win

The Indianapolis Colts are now AFC South co-leaders after defeating the host Tennessee Titans 34-17 on Thursday at Nissan Stadium in Nashville.

Indianapolis, which trailed 17-13 at halftime, scored 21 unanswered points in the second half thanks to Titans' special teams problems.

Titans punter Trevor Daniel shanked a 17-yard punt, leading to a 27-yard touchdown drive capped by Colts running back yheim Hines' two-yard touchdown run to give Indianapolis a 19-17 lead.

Shortly thereafter, E.J. Speed's punt block on the Titans' next possession led to a scoop-and-score for a T.J. Carrie touchdown to put Indianapolis up 26-17.
