Titans Spoiler Time in AFC South…

The Tennessee Titans opted to bench Will Levis in favor of Mason Rudolph heading into their Week 16 matchup with the Indianapolis Colts, but in the end, it didn’t matter.

The Titans lost 38-30, as Rudolph threw three interceptions in the defeat.

After the game, head coach Brian Callahan was asked about the team’s quarterback situation heading into Week 17 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but he refused to commit to a starter, saying that the position is “week to week.”

The Titans are coming into the game with a new look, starting quarterback Mason Rudolph over Will Levis. With Rudolph under center, the Titans are hoping to get a spark from their final three games.Dec 22, 2024; Indianapolis, Indiana, USA; Tennessee Titans quarterback Mason Rudolph (11) throws a pass during the second quarter against the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Perhaps the biggest motivation comes with the chance to send their division rival Colts officially to the couch for the postseason. The Colts led by multiple scores last week against the Denver Broncos before surrendering the lead, costing them a game they were well within grasp of winning.

Because of that loss, the Colts need to win this game, so they should be giving the Titans their best effort. A win for the Colts won’t get them to the postseason, but it will keep them off of the brink of elimination.Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (15) is brought down by Tennessee Titans defensive tackle T'Vondre Sweat (93) and linebacker Harold Landry III (58) during the fourth quarter of their game at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tenn., Sunday, Oct. 13, 2024.

The Colts will be led by second-year quarterback Anthony Richardson, who did not play for the team in the last contest. Joe Flacco drew the start after Richardson missed the game with an oblique injury.

The last time Richardson played against the Titans was in Week 5 of last season, where he suffered the shoulder injury that ended his rookie season.Tennessee coaches, players speak after CFB Playoff loss | WATE 6 On Your  Side

So, this should be the first time Richardson is truly facing the Titans barring any injury in this game. If Richardson can play up to the standards that he has shown to be capable of, he can help lead the Colts to victory over the Titans.
