The Colts had this game right from the start. It was just an easy game. Although the Titans were on a five-game winning-streak, and looking dangerous, the Colts were on a eleven-game winning-streak, and counting, as they move on to 12-0.

Joseph Addai played well, scoring the team’s first touchdown, and having another one, along with 79 yards.

Peyton Manning threw for 270 yards along with a touchdown. Vince Young played well, and was looking to for a win after playing his best game of his career just last week against the Arizona Cardinals. He passed for 241 yards with two touchdowns and one pick.

The Titans had a lot of chances to win this game. They had wasted opportunities in the red zone, and the score should have been much tighter.  Nate Washington had a chance to put up a long, and easy, touchdown, but turned into Braylon Edwards on that play, dropping a wide-open long-ball that could’ve been an easy six points.

Vince Young also could’ve closed out the game on the Titans’ last drive. He overthrew what I believe was Nate Washington, and it could have been a first down as the Titans would be in the red zone. But it was turnover on downs.

Chris Johnson had 27 carries for 113 yards, and will need to play really hard in the next few games if he wants to beat Eric Dickerson’s record, or even reach 2,000 yards for that matter.

Mike Hart, a star at Michigan, played pretty good with 11 yards on four carries, along with two catches and 27 yards. Pierre Garcon had a career-night with six catches for 136 yards.

This win also is the 21st consecutive regular season win. One more, and they break the record. Indianapolis will face the Denver Broncos next week, as the Colts look to chase perfection.

The Titans are still in the hunt, but it is going to be extremely tough making that Wild Card spot with two teams holding the spot with much better records than them.

Here is the playoff picture for the AFC so far:

  1. Colts
  2. Bengals
  3. Chargers
  4. Patriots
  5. Broncos
  6. Jaguars

In the hunt:

  1. Jets
  2. Dolphins
  3. Texans
  4. Titans
  5. Steelers
  6. Ravens

It’s going to be a tough race to the playoffs.

But what matters is that the Colts won, and it’s time to get ready for next week.
