The Tennessee Titans will try to break a six-game losing streak to the Indianapolis Colts when they face off in Week 6 of the 2026 NFL season. Tennessee remains without a win this year, sitting at 0-5 after a 26-3 defeat at home to the Houston Texans. Meanwhile, the Colts are 2-3 after falling 34-22 to the Pittsburgh Steelers last week.
Tennessee’s defensive front led by Jeffery Simmons has a tough task ahead in containing Colts running back Jonathan Taylor. Taylor has rushed for 398 yards and six touchdowns in five games, dominating Tennessee in his last three appearances against them. If Taylor finds room to run, Indianapolis could control possession and keep Tennessee’s struggling offense off the field.
The Titans’ wide receivers face a promising opportunity against the Colts secondary, which ranks 28th in the NFL, allowing 254 passing yards per game. Quarterback Cam Ward’s passing attack ranks 31st in yards per game, so the receivers need to create separation and help Ward move the ball consistently. This matchup could be the best chance for Tennessee’s passing game to deliver a breakout performance.
On the ground, Tennessee’s running game has also lagged. Averaging only 82.6 yards per game, they rank 27th in the league. The Colts’ run defense is similarly porous, ranked 28th and giving up 130.2 rushing yards per game. Establishing the run would help Ward by easing pressure and opening up the offense.
Tennessee’s 0-5 record and six straight losses to Indianapolis set a high bar for improvement in this AFC South clash. The Titans’ defense must keep Jonathan Taylor in check, while the offense looks to capitalize on a vulnerable Colts secondary and run defense. This contest will reveal whether Tennessee can find answers and secure their first win of the season.
