Indianapolis rallies from 14-0 deficit to beat Tennessee

NASHVILLE, Tenn.

The Indianapolis Colts just keep digging themselves into early holes, then proving they know how to come back and win.

Donald Brown ran for two touchdowns, Andrew Luck added another and the Colts rallied yet again, this time beating the Tennessee Titans, 30-27, on Thursday night after trailing 14-0 in the first quarter.

Adam Vinatieri kicked three field goals, including a 50-yarder, and Coby Fleener had a career-high eight catches for 107 yards to help the Colts (7-3) bounce back quite nicely from a 38-8 home loss to St. Louis.

They have yet to lose back-to-back games under coach Chuck Pagano and are 8-0 coming off a loss.

“Obviously, starting out like that is something we’re all too familiar with,” Fleener said. “That’s something we have to work and get corrected.”

The Colts are back in charge of the AFC South too, now having beaten all three divisional opponents on the road.

The Titans (4-6) lost their second straight and fifth in six games, blowing the big lead. Chris Johnson ran for two touchdowns and 70 yards in the first quarter, but had only 16 yards after that.
