The Indianapolis Colts are still in search of their first victory of the season in week 15. This is not what I expected to be writing about at the beginning of the season, but here we are. Indianapolis has only three games remaining to avoid finishing the season winless. This week they will face the Tennessee Titans at home on December 18.

This game will be the best chance for Dan Orlovsky to show what he can do against an average team. In his first two starts, Orlovsky faced the New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens and was not terrible. He was clearly better than Curtis Painter and he actually moved the ball and helped the team score points on offense. There is no reason why he should not do significantly better against the Tennessee Titans.

Indianapolis needs to try to air it out downfield to Pierre Garcon and Reggie Wayne in this game. They have nothing to lose and need to be more aggressive in this game. As a fan of the team, it remains frustrating that the coaching staff refuses to do anything unconventional in an attempt to win. Why not go for it on every fourth down? There is no downside to it at all at this point. There is no reason why fans should expect anything different from Jim Caldwell this week though. It’s as if he has no idea that he is coaching for his job.

Colt fans early in the week appeared lucky enough to be facing rookie quarterback Jake Locker. Matt Hasselbeck now looks like he is on pace to start against the Colts. Whichever quarterback gets the start, they should have no trouble moving the ball against the Colt defense. One sign of hope is that Indianapolis generally does a very good job defending against running back Chris Johnson. If they can slow Johnson down, they may even stand a chance in this game. Tennessee does not have an explosive offense and should not be able to run away in this game.

I think this is a game where Indianapolis remains competitive and can put themselves in a position to win the game. They will likely fall short like every other game this year. At this point, fans can only hope that Dan Orlvosky will pull off his fourth quarter magic and make the game appear closer than it really is again. Orlovsky has shown that he is great at scoring points in the fourth quarter when the game is out of hand. Luckily, I think he’ll be able to do that and give fans hope that the game was actually closer than it really was.

Prediction: Titans 24, Colts 17

Chris Johnson and the Tennessee Titans ran by in a flash and the Buffalo Bills’ season seems to be doing the same.

Johnson ran for 153 yards and two touchdowns, including a 48-yard dash in the second quarter that gave the Titans the lead for good in Sunday’s 23-17 win over the Bills at Ralph Wilson Stadium.

The Titans finished the day with 187 rushing yards and Matt Hasselbeck completed 16-of-25 passes for 140 yards.

“At the beginning of the season the passing game carried us, but now it’s time for the running game to step it up,” said Johnson.

Rob Bironas added three field goals, including a 44-yarder in the fourth that gave the Titans a 23-10 lead.

C.J. Spiller, starting for the second consecutive week in place of the injured Fred Jackson, rushed for 80 his career-high 83 yards in the first half.

“In my first start last year, I was doing a lot of thinking in the game and I really wouldn’t let my ability take over,” said Spiller. “Now, I’m just going out there and playing football, just playing the way I always played.”

Spiller also had a 41-yard touchdown in the first quarter nullified by a holding penalty against fullback Corey McIntyre.

“I don’t know what the ref saw, but when you don’t touch a person, let him spin, and don’t even grab him,” said McIntyre. “You be the judge of that. You can call it phantom or whatever, but I know that wasn’t a hold.”

Spiller gave the Bills a 7-3 lead when he recovered his own fumble in the end zone after a 30-yard run down the left sideline.

Titans safety Michael Griffin knocked the ball out of Spiller’s grasp at the 5-yard line and the ball bounced into the end zone. Referees initially ruled Spiller recovered it out the back of the end zone for a touchback, giving Tennessee the ball at the Buffalo 20.

However, a replay challenge overturned the play to a touchdown. Tennessee (7-5), which has won three of four, took the lead on its next  drive on Johnson’s long touchdown run and the running back added a  four-yard score later in the half to make it 17-7.

“If we can run the ball that well, we become a tough team to stop,”  said Titans head coach Mike Munchak.

The Bills got closer with Ryan Fitzpatrick’s two-yard touchdown pass to Stevie Johnson on 4th down with just under three minutes to go in the fourth, but a once promising 5-2 start has turned into a five-game losing streak.

“We’ve still got resolve to go out there and win every game,” said Bills tight end Scott Chandler, had a fumble that set up an 11-play drive for Tennessee that use up more than six minutes of the clock in the third quarter capped by a Bironas field goal. “We were set up in pretty good shape and we need to get back to winning.”

Fitzpatrick finished 29-of-46 for 288 yards and Brad Smith, in his second straight start at wide receiver, caught a career-best seven passes for 72 yards. Stevie Johnson had five catches for 52 yards for Buffalo (5-7).

“I think the reason we lost was fundamentals,” said Bills head coach Chan Gailey. “You’ve got to block, you’ve got to tackle, and you’ve got to take care of the football. Those are the things that happened to us in this game that we didn’t get the job done to win and you have to do those things, fundamentally, in order to be able to win.”

Rookie Colin McCarthy, starting at middle linebacker for Tennessee in place of the injured Barrett Ruud (groin), had a team-best eight tackles, as well as a forced fumble that led to a Chris Johnson touchdown and a fumble recovery that set up a field goal.

“If you want to make a run at this thing in December you need guys to make plays and that’s what we saw today,” said Munchak.

Notebook: The game was blacked out on local TV because it failed to sell out. The announced attendance was 56,463 … Bills safety George Wilson (neck) missed his third straight game … Spiller also had a 41-yard touchdown run in the first half negated by a holding penalty against fullback Corey McIntyre … Johnson had his third 100-yard game in the last four weeks after only through the first eight games of the season … Bills LB Nick Barnett had a game-high 10 tackles and a sack.

A month ago, the Bills were playoff contenders. Now they are closer to last place than second place in the AFC East.

“I’ve never lost five in a row, ever,” Buffalo linebacker Nick Barnett said. “Pop Warner, baseball, all that stuff, so this is new territory for me and I’m sure for a lot of guys. It doesn’t feel good, and I’m sure they don’t like it and I don’t like it.”

From 5-2 to 5-7 — with the possibility of going from first to last in the division — the Bills fall has been fast and furious. A fizzling offense coupled with a defense that has plenty of holes has left the Bills staring at their 12th straight non-playoff season.

“Extremely shocked and disappointed, all those words,” said quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, who finished 29 of 46 for 288 yards. “It’s been really disappointing these last five weeks. It just seemed like when a play needed to be made we didn’t make it, and they did. That was the difference.”

A rejuvenated Johnson didn’t help matters. Held under 100 yards seven times in his first eight games, Johnson now has topped the century mark three times in his last four outings.

He scored on runs of 48 and 4 yards to match his season touchdown total. Kicker Rob Bironas did the rest, hitting three field goals, including a 44-yarder midway through the fourth quarter to put the Titans ahead 23-10.

Johnson had 106 yards in the first half.

“We were two different defenses,” Barnett said. “The first half we let (Johnson) make some big plays, and he made them.”

C.J. Spiller had a career-best 83 yards rushing and scored on a 35-yard touchdown run in his second start since Fred Jackson broke a bone in his leg. Receiver Stevie Johnson toned down his touchdown celebration after scoring on a 2-yard catch with 2:58 left to make the game close.

Johnson had been criticized for much of the past week over his celebration in a 28-24 loss to the New York Jets. Johnson was fined $10,000 by the NFL for mocking Jets receiver Plaxico Burress, pretending to shoot himself in the thigh. He was also flagged 15 yards for going to the ground in pretending to be a crashing plane.

This time, Johnson kept his arms to himself and politely handed the ball to the nearest official.

The Titans (7-5) converted two Bills turnovers into 10 points.

Rookie linebacker Colin McCarthy stripped Fitzpatrick on a fourth-and-3 scramble and recovered it at the Titans 43-yard line. Six plays later, Johnson scored on a 4-yard scamper up the middle to put Tennessee up 17-7.

McCarthy also recovered tight end Scott Chandler’s fumble at the Titans 37 to end the Bills’ first possession of the second half. That set up a time-consuming 11-play, 54-yard drive capped by Bironas hitting a 27-yard field goal to give Tennessee a 20-10 lead.

Spiller gave the Bills a 7-3 lead midway through the fourth quarter when he beat the Titans to the left corner and cut it up the sideline. He was chased down from behind by Michael Griffin, who punched the ball loose inside the 10. The ball ricocheted off Spiller’s left knee and was bouncing out of the end zone when the running back made a diving attempt to secure it before sliding out.

Officials initially ruled it a touchback, before reversing the call to a touchdown after replays showed Spiller had control of the ball while inbounds.

The Bills never regained the lead after that.

“It’s a drastic difference from where we were to where we are now,” Bills receiver Brad Smith said. “We look at ourselves in the mirror, and know it’s on us.”

Notes: Johnson’s 48-yard TD run was his longest since scoring a 76-yard touchdown in the 2010 season opener. … Fitzpatrick’s TD pass gave him 20 this season, becoming the first Bills player to throw that many in consecutive years since Jim Kelly did it in 1994-95. … The Bills honored Allen Wilson, longtime beat writer for The Buffalo News, who died Saturday of leukemia. Flowers and a framed picture of “Big Al” were placed at his seat in the press box. Bills safety and captain George Wilson spoke for the players in issuing his condolences, calling the writer a “good man” and “genuine guy.”

Kyle Orton threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Correll Buckhalter with 1:33 left, and the Denver Broncos rallied and beat the Tennessee Titans 26-20 on Sunday.

The Broncos (2-2) clinched the victory when they kicked short on the ensuing kickoff, trying to avoid rookie Marc Mariani who already had a 98-yard return for a touchdown. The Titans (2-2) let the ball bounce, and Mariani tried to jump up and catch it only to be hit by David Bruton.

Cassius Vaughn recovered, and Matt Prater kicked his fourth field goal to pad the lead.

Tennessee had one last chance with 33 seconds left, but Vince Young’s third incompletion fell to the turf as time expired to overshadow a game in which Tennessee had a season-high six sacks and an interception.

Denver came in with the NFL’s top passing offense, and Orton finished with 341 yards passing and two touchdowns as Denver held the ball more than 35 minutes. The Broncos, who got only two field goals on five trips inside their opponent 20 in losing to the Colts last week, scored on six of seven such trips against the NFL’s best defense in that category.

The only time the Broncos didn’t score?

When Jabar Gaffney couldn’t collect a low throw from Orton at the back of the end zone with 4:33 left. Gaffney atoned for that on the next drive as Orton threw deep to the receiver, and officials flagged Titans safety Chris Hope for pass interference putting the ball at the Tennessee 1.

Orton put Denver ahead with his TD pass to Buckhalter, his second of the game.

Denver’s defense also did its part with two sacks and one turnover. The Broncos held Tennessee to just 46 of its 288 yards on offense in the second half. Chris Johnson ran for only 53 yards.

Tennessee led 20-16 after Mariani’s kickoff return for a TD in the third quarter, and Rob Bironas kicked his second field goal of the game with 5:00 left in the third quarter.

The Titans sacked Orton three times in the first quarter alone and outgained the Broncos 115-15. But Bironas pushed a 35-yard field goal wide right, and Johnson fumbled to end two drives deep into Denver territory.

Denver took advantage of a roughing call by Sen’Derrick Marks on Orton on third down where the lineman appeared to grab the quarterback around the thigh. A play later, the Titans jumped offside for a neutral zone infraction that prompted defensive coordinator Chuck Cecil to throw an obscene gesture at officials that was caught by television cameras.

A play later, Orton put Denver up 7-0 with a 2-yard TD pass to Eddie Royal.

The Titans answered almost immediately. Javon Ringer, Johnson’s backup, broke loose on a 54-yard run, and Young found Kenny Britt for an 8-yard TD to tie it up on the next drive. The teams swapped field goals to go into halftime tied at 10 apiece with Bironas kicking a 55-yarder as time expired to atone for his earlier miss.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP)—The Cincinnati Bengals are on a roll unlike anything
seen by this franchise since 1988 with five straight wins, and coach Marvin
Lewis says it doesn’t matter.

“Half of these guys weren’t even alive 23 years ago,” Lewis said.

Rookie Andy Dalton(notes) threw for three touchdowns and 217 yards, and the
Cincinnati Bengals rallied from a 10-point deficit and beat the Tennessee Titans
24-17 Sunday for their fifth straight victory.

The Bengals (6-2) last won five in a row in 1988 when they took the AFC
championship and went to their second Super Bowl. They also improved to 4-1 on
the road with the rookie quarterback leading the Bengals to 17 unanswered points
as he tossed TD passes to three different receivers.

“Our quarterback has done a nice job,” Lewis said. “It was loud out
there, louder than we expected. I think he’s done a nice job of handling that.
He doesn’t get unnerved, he just keeps coming back and just playing.”

Tennessee (4-4) has lost two of three to wrap up a three-game homestand.
Chris Johnson had 110 yards from scrimmage, but the Titans blew a 17-7 halftime
lead when the offense shut down in the second half.

Tennessee managed just 95 yards in the final 30 minutes with 30 on the final
play that came up well short of the end zone. The Titans also held the ball just
4 minutes, 38 seconds of the fourth quarter in what coach Mike Munchak called a
very disappointing loss.

“We didn’t make a play the whole second half, and then the defense took
their turn and we couldn’t make a stop,” Munchak said.

Cincinnati came in with the fourth-stingiest defense in the NFL, and the
Bengals helped shut down the Titans in the second half. Carlos Dunlap(notes) had two
sacks, and Nate Clements(notes) stripped the ball for the lone turnover. Clements
forced Titans tight end Jared Cook(notes) to fumble at the end of an 8-yard gain to
give Cincinnati the ball at the Tennessee 20 with 3:49 left.

Mike Nugent(notes) kicked a 36-yard field goal for the final margin.

Tennessee got the ball back with one last shot, but struggled with two
10-second runoffs and no timeouts. Lavelle Hawkins(notes) was tackled after a 30-yard
gain to the Cincinnati 32 after time expired with Johnson nearby ready for a
lateral.

“I guess he just didn’t see me,” Johnson said.

Now the Bengals head into the toughest part of their schedule two wins ahead
of their total of last season. Cincinnati faces the Steelers twice and the
Ravens once in its next four games.

“We’re at where we want to be now, and that’s in the thick of things in our
division,” said Bengals rookie receiver A.J. Green(notes), who caught seven passes for
83 yards.

“We’ve got some division games coming up that are going to be tough, but I
feel like this team right here is going to fight and compete in every game.”

They took over after halftime, outgaining Tennessee 97-8 in total offense in
the third quarter. Dalton took advantage of a defensive pass interference play
to set up his second TD pass, a 15-yarder to Jerome Simpson(notes).

The rookie QB from Texas Christian then drove the Bengals 75 yards using up
6 minutes, 55 seconds before finding Andre Caldwell(notes) for a 5-yard TD with 10:52
left and a 21-17 lead that Cincinnati never lost.

“We’re doing whatever we have to do to win the game, and that’s the biggest
thing for the season,” Dalton said.

Johnson ran pretty well at times and finished with 64 yards rushing and 46
yards receiving. But the Titans wasted their best field position at the
Cincinnati 49 on the opening possession of the third quarter.

In a sign of how much they would struggle, they wound up going backward with
a penalty and went three-and-out.

The Titans had all the momentum at halftime after scoring two touchdowns in
the second quarter. Matt Hasselbeck(notes) was 10 of 13 for 117 yards with a 143.3
passer rating in the quarter, tossing an 8-yard TD pass to Damian Williams(notes) where
the second-year receiver tapped his toes in at the back of the end zone before
falling out.

Hasselbeck then found Hawkins in the back right corner for a 16-yard TD pass
8 seconds before the half for a 17-7 lead.

Notes: The Bengals missed scoring a defensive TD for a fourth straight week
when officials overruled a call that Hasselbeck’s pass was backward when Dunlap
knocked it down and recovered it in the end zone. Replay showed Hasselbeck’s
pass was going forward when Dunlap hit it. … The Titans are 5-3 against
Cincinnati since moving to Tennessee, but the Bengals have won two straight in
Nashville. … Titans DE Dave Ball(notes) had a concussion. Munchak said WR Nate
Washington(notes) hurt his hip, and Hawkins dislocated a finger before returning to the
game. TE Jared Cook hurt his lower leg on the fumble.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – The Pittsburgh Steelers (2-2) returned home Sunday to take on the Tennessee Titans (3-1) at Heinz Field.

While the Titans came in riding high with three straight wins after a loss in Week 1, the Steelers were able to shake off a tough loss to the Houston Texans in Week 4 to come up with a big 38-17 victory.

The Titans received the opening kick and began their first possession at their own 20 yard line.

Pittsburgh appeared to have stopped the Titans twice, but penalties kept the drive alive.

After Nate Washington dropped a sure touchdown pass, the Steelers’ forced the Titans to settle for a 29-yard field goal by Rob Bironas to take a 3-0 lead.

Antonio Brown set the Steelers up with great field position for their first drive with a kickoff return to the 50 yard line.

On 3rd-and-9 from the Titans’ 49 yard line, Mike Wallace snagged a pass from Ben Roethlisberger for 11 yards. The play was initially ruled incomplete, but head coach Mike Tomlin threw the challenge flag and it was overturned.

That would prove to be critical as the Steelers found the endzone seven plays later. Roethlisberger found Heath Miller for an 8-yard touchdown to cap a 10-play 50-yard drive that put the Steelers up 7-3.

Tennessee was forced to punt on their next possession and were victimized by some trickery by the Steelers.

Pittsburgh was facing a 4th-and-5 from the 50 yard line and sent the punting team onto the field. Daniel Sepulveda faked the punt and found Ryan Mundy wide open downfield for a 33-yard gain.

Two plays later, Roethlisberger hooked up with Hines Ward for a 7-yard touchdown to put Pittsburgh up 14-3 with 11:14 to play in the first half.

Tennessee was forced to punt again after just three plays, which gave the Steelers the ball back at their own 10 yard line with 9:21 to play in the second quarter.

Jonathan Dwyer opened the drive with a 76-yard run up the middle to give Pittsburgh a great opportunity to add to their lead and that’s just what they did.

On 2nd-and-goal from the 1 yard line, Roethlisberger rolled out and found David Johnson for his third touchdown pass of the half to put Pittsburgh up 21-3.

The Steelers were looking like they would add to the lead even more before the half, but some apparent miscommunication ended the drive. With 20 seconds to go and the Steelers at the Titans’ 27 yard line, it appeared as if Roethlisberger was going to spike the ball to stop the clock. However, he attempted a quick pass that his receivers were not ready for and Cortland Finnegan easily picked it off.

The Steelers and Titans traded early possessions in the third quarter until the Steelers put together their fourth touchdown drive of the game.

Roethlisberger hooked up with Ward for a second time, from 8 yards out, to put Pittsburgh up 28-3 with 4:44 to play in the quarter.

Tennessee showed some signs of life as they marched down the field and scored their first touchdown of the game. Chris Johnson’s 1-yard run capped a 9-play 77-yard drive to cut the lead to 28-10.

But a Shaun Suisham 19-yeard field goal increased the Steelers lead to 31-10 early in the fourth quarter.

Late in the fourth quarter, the Titans cut the Steelers lead again, 31-17, with a touchdown pass from Matt Hasselbeck to Damian Williams.

But the Steelers answered right back with a touchdown of their own from Roethlisberger to Wallace to make the score 38-17.
