What happened: A loss Sunday in Indianapolis would make Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward the fifth passer to drop his first eight games against divisional opponents, per Adam Schefter. David Klinger lost his first nine division matchups, while Colt McCoy and Chris Weinke each opened 0-8.

Why it matters: Selected first overall out of Miami in the 2025 NFL Draft, Ward and his long-term Titans future face added pressure with Tennessee on a six-game losing streak. Both clubs enter Sunday's contest at 2-6 on the 2026 regular season, with the Colts favored by 6.5 points at home.

By the numbers: Tennessee averages 13.9 points scored and 20.2 points allowed per game in 2026, compared to 19.9 points scored and 26.2 points allowed for Indianapolis.

What to watch: Sunday's scheduled game in Indianapolis begins at 0-0, with the Colts looking to rebound after dropping three of their last five outings.
