Indianapolis held Tennessee scoreless through halftime on October 18, 2026, taking a 13-0 advantage behind a Daniel Jones touchdown pass and two field goals. The Colts were also due to receive the kickoff to begin the second half.

Mo Alie-Cox caught Jones’ 1-yard scoring throw early in the second quarter. Jonathan Taylor helped set up the touchdown with a screen reception covering 38 yards, taking Indianapolis from its 34-yard line to Tennessee’s 28.

A 23-yard field goal on the next Indianapolis possession extended the margin to 10-0. Spencer Shrader then connected from 47 yards shortly before the break.

Tennessee opened with three first downs but followed that possession with two three-and-outs. Cam Ward was intercepted on the opening play of the Titans’ fourth drive. He finished the half 4-of-7 for 37 yards.

Jones completed 13-of-20 passes for 153 yards, with one touchdown and one interception. Amani Hooker ended Indianapolis’ opening possession with a sideline interception. Taylor gained 53 yards on nine carries in addition to his 38-yard reception.
