Week 8 Wrapup: Titans 31, Colts 21


Huge win from the boys in Two-Tone Blue tonight. While we struggled all night to get to Peyton Manning, we got two huge interceptions from Chris Hope and 3 rushing TD's from Smash and Dash, leading us to a 7-0 record leading into the inter-conference showdown against Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.

It Was Over When...: Chris Johnson scampered around the right end for a 16 yard touchdown to put the Titans up 31-14.

Gameball Goes To...: Chris Hope. Hope had his first two interceptions this year, both off of tipped balls, including the interception to set up Chris Johnson's TD run. Honorable mention goes to Nick Harper who had a few touchdown saving plays on defense.

Stat of the Game: 0. The Titans had zero sacks on Peyton Manning all night long. We struggled to get pressure at times and at times we hit Manning but just a second or two late. It seemed like the defense missed the presence of Kyle Vanden Bosch on the end as Haynesworth was getting double and triple teamed all night.

Surprise of the Game: Brandon Jones lives! Four catches and 40 yards for the oft-criticized receiver.
