INDIANAPOL­IS COLTS 34, TENNESSEE TITANS 26

-

At Nissan Stadium, Nashville, Tennessee ■ RECAP: No matter how much the Colts are hurting or struggling, they can always count on beating the Titans.

Andrew Luck threw a 7-yard touchdown to Jack Doyle with 1:55 left to put Indianapol­is ahead to stay, and the Colts (3-4) rallied past the Titans (3-4) for their 10th straight win over their AFC South rival.

Indianapol­is entered having lost two of three, but Luck improved to 8-0 against the Titans. He finished with 353 yards and three TDs, the last after Tennessee went ahead 23-20 on Ryan Succop’s 48-yard field goal with 6:02 to play.

Colts receiver T.Y. Hilton caught seven passes for 133 yards, including a 37-yard TD, and Doyle made nine catches for 78 yards. Indy shook off 12 penalties for 131 yards.

Indy kicker Adam Vinatieri, at age 43 the oldest player in the NFL, kicked two field goals to set the league record with 43 consecutiv­e makes. He broke the record of 42 by former Colts kicker Mike Vanderjagt from 2002 to 2004.

Marcus Mariota had a chance to rally the Titans to their third straight win, but T.Y. McGill sacked him and stripped the ball. Robert Mathis picked it up and ran 14 yards for a TD with 1:47 left and a 34-23 lead.

■ QUOTABLE: “He’s that good of a quarterbac­k. He’s going to make players make plays.” — Titans coach Mike Mularkey on Luck
