This should be a physical matchup. It always is with the Mike Vrabel-led Titans. It will be an interesting matchup considering how well the Titans play against the run, but it would be a huge boost if the Colts got Jonathan Taylor back from the PUP list.
The Colts matchup well through the air against a shaky Titans secondary so it will be interesting to see how that impacts the game plan.
Regardless, this game is expected to come down to the wire, and the outcome likely will have a big impact down the road.
