DEFENSIVE STATS:
No sacks on either side so tha QB’s were ok.
Colts had 61 tackles and Titians 58.
Titians Chris Hope had both INT’s
IND: Pierre Garcon had 6 kick returns for 150 yards and an average of 25.0

IND: Adam Vinatieri was 3/3 for extra points.
TEN: Rob Bironas was 2/2 for extra points and 3/4 for FG’s.
Both Punters broke 100 yards in punting.
I would give tha Titians defense tha better game because they had 2 INT’s, even thou tha Colts D had more tackles.
