For a fraction of a second, it looked like Henry was surrounded by Colts.īut just as it seemed that about half of the Indy defense would collaborate on this tackle, Derrick Henry was suddenly not there. Khari Willis and Julian Blackmon raced in from the secondary, while Kenny Moore and Al-Quadin Muhammad closed from behind. Meanwhile, guard Rodger Saffold executed a cut block on Taylor Stallworth, opening up an enormous cutback lane for Henry.īut center Ben Jones – leading on the play – couldn’t throw the decisive block on Anthony Walker, who stood waiting for Derrick at about the 17 yard line. Guard Nate Davis latched onto substitute nose tackle Grover Stewart and just drove him down the line. This would turn out to be the decisive drive of the game, and Tennessee would begin it with a stretch run to the right. It was still early in the contest, but the Colt defense understood both the opportunity presented them to return the ball to their offense with excellent field position, as well as the consequences if the Titans should drive the field and score another touchdown.

Those drives consumed the entirety of the first quarter – and the first 2:09 of the second quarter – leaving the two teams tied at that point, 14 points each.īut that was as far as the Colts could hold with the Titans. Tennessee and Indianapolis each traded 75-yard touchdown drives through the first four drives of the game. ![]() The game started as auspiciously as could have been hoped. ![]()
