Colts pound Titans again, 38-14

Jonathan Taylor embraced having a lighter workload and a shorter day Sunday.

The Indianapolis Colts still got the same result.

Taylor scored three more touchdowns, needing only 12 carries to rush for 153, yards and Daniel Jones threw three TD passes before giving way to the backups as the Colts posted their second rout of Tennessee this season, 38-14, to move to an NFL-best 7-1.

The Titans (1-7) saw Taylor become the first player in league history to score three times in three straight games against the same team. Taylor ran for three scores in a Colts win against Tennessee in September; and he did the same last December in the teams’ second meeting of 2024.

Indy, the league's highest-scoring team, has won four straight while scoring at least 31 points in each — thanks in large part to Taylor.

The Titans have lost three straight, including both games since coach Brian Callahan was fired and Mike McCoy took over on an interim basis, and six of their seven losses have come by double digits. Indy swept the season series with victory margins of 21 and 24 points.

Tennessee rookie Cam Ward was 22 of 38 for 259 yards with one TD and one interception. Tyjae Spears rushed nine times for 59 yards and a score.
