Titans beat Colts in NFL victory

Tennessee has scored its first win overe Indianapolis since 2011 after a 36-22 home victory.

The Tennessee Titans have ended an 11-game losing streak to the Indianapolis Colts in the NFL with a 36-22 victory.

Marcus Mariota's tiebreaking 53-yard touchdown throw to rookie Taywan Taylor, coupled with Wesley Woodyard's stop of quarterback Jacoby Brissett on fourth down with 2:19 remaining, were key moments.

Mariota, who missed the Titans' 16-10 defeat at Miami the previous week with a hamstring injury, completed 23 of 32 passes for 306 yards as the Titans moved into a three-way tie with Houston and Jacksonville for first place in the AFC South.

Woodyard helped seal the victory by running Brissett out of bounds just shy of the first down.

A replay review confirmed the ruling, and the Titans sealed the game with a 72-yard touchdown run from Derrick Henry with 47 seconds left.

It was their first victory over Indianapolis since October 30, 2011.

Henry finished with 131 yards on 19 carries.
