The Colts lost another fourth quarter lead Sunday. This time, though, they got it back.
Andrew Luck led a long touchdown drive to give the Colts the lead in the last two minutes, then Marcus Mariota was strip-sacked on first down and Robert Mathis returned the ball for a Colts touchdown to put the game out of reach.
The final score was 34-26. The Colts led, 20-13, at the start of the fourth quarter.
Luck played his best game of the season, throwing for 353 yards and three touchdowns. Tight end Jack Doyle caught the go-ahead touchdown with 1:55 left to make it 27-23.
T.Y. Hilton led all receivers with seven catches for 133 yards.
The Colts had blown a fourth-quarter lead last Sunday in Houston, but with this win they’re back to 3-4. The Titans lose a golden opportunity and slip to 3-4.
An unnecessary roughness penalty on Colts linebacker Josh McNary in the third quarter cost the Colts an interception and briefly forced Titans tight end Delanie Walker out of the game. Walker returned to catch a touchdown pass to tie it early in the fourth quarter.
DeMarco Murray ran for 107 yards for the Titans, but the Titans went flat after scoring easily on the game’s first drive. The Colts led 17-6 in the second quarter before a Murray touchdown run made it 17-13 at halftime.
Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota was 22-of-37 for 232 yards.
