Joey Slye connects from 56 yards to make it a one-score game TENvsIND on FOX/FOX One Stream on @NFLPlus https://t.co/Ki Via @NFL on X

What happened: The long-distance kick brought the Tennessee Titans within seven points of the Indianapolis Colts during Sunday's regular-season broadcast on FOX. Three giveaways by Indianapolis allowed Tennessee to remain within a single possession despite early offensive struggles.

Why it matters: Converting from beyond 50 yards keeps Tennessee competitive as the club looks to rebound from a 26-3 loss to Houston on Oct. 12. Narrowing the gap to one score allows the offense to maintain a balanced play-calling script going forward.

By the numbers: Per ESPN (as of Sept. 29, 2026), Slye made 28 of 35 field goals across 16 games with the Titans during the 2025 season.

What to watch: Action continues in Sunday's AFC South contest on FOX as Tennessee attempts to erase the remaining seven-point margin.
