After an injury to Tommy Townsend, Joey Slye recorded his first career punt in the third quarter. The punt traveled 42 yards before being downed at Cleveland’s 18-yard line. It is the first punt by an NFL kicker to be placed inside the opposing 20-yard line since Robbie Gould did so for the San Francisco 49ers on Jan. 9, 2022.
Anthony Hill Jr. recorded his first career forced fumble when he jarred the ball from Harold Fannin Jr. in the second quarter against Cleveland. A rookie out of Texas, Hill’s season statistics include 60 tackles, three passes defensed, a tackle for loss and a forced fumble. Only Hill and San Francisco’s Fred Warner have reached those numbers thus far in the 2026 season.
Four plays after a Cor’Dale Flott interception, Tony Pollard ran in his second touchdown of the first quarter to put Tennessee ahead 14-0 against Cleveland. It marked Pollard’s sixth career game with multiple rushing touchdowns and his first career game with multiple rushing scores in the same quarter.
Cor’Dale Flott picked off a Deshaun Watson pass in the first quarter to return possession to the Titans in Browns territory. It marks Flott’s first career two-game streak with an interception and increases his career total to five interceptions since entering the NFL in 2022. He is the first Titans defender with an interception in back-to-back games since David Long Jr. in 2022.
Tony Pollard scored the Titans' first points with a 36- yard touchdown on the opening drive against Cleveland. The six-play, 65-yard drive included five runs by Pollard for 60 yards, and a first down connection from Cam Ward to Carnell Tate for 15 yards. It is the Titans first opening drive touchdown since Week 18 of the 2025 season, when Cam Ward ran in a seven-yard score at Jacksonville on Jan. 4, 2026.
In the fourth quarter, Julius Chestnut blocked an Indianapolis punt that was recovered by Oluwafemi Oladejo and returned 15 yards for a go-ahead touchdown. It is the first punt blocked for a touchdown in the NFL this season and the Titans' first punt block for a touchdown since Oct. 30, 2011 against Indianapolis when Patrick Bailey blocked a Pat McAfee punt and Jason McCourty recovered it in the endzone for a score.
After Cor'Dale Flott's interception, the Titans have forced three Colts turnovers in today's contest along with Amani Hooker's first quarter interception and Jeffery Simmons' fumble recovery to open the second half. The last time Tennessee forced at least three opponent turnovers was at Arizona on Oct. 5, 2025 (three fumbles).
With his second-quarter sack, Jeffery Simmons improved his career total to 45.5 sacks, surpassing Ted Washington (45.0) for 10th place on the franchise’s all-time sack list. Simmons also eclipsed Derrick Morgan (44.5) for fourth place in sacks during the team's "Titans era" (1999 to present) behind only Jevon Kearse (52.0), Jurrell Casey (51.0) and Harold Landry III (50.5).
