How to Watch Titans' Game Against Colts on Sunday

The Tennessee Titans have their first AFC South matchup of the season on Sunday, taking on the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium. It's a big game, with all four division teams tied at 2-2. Here's all the information on how to watch the game, with the latest on the point spread and lots of newsy nuggets.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — There's a logjam in the AFC South after four weeks, with all four teams tied at 2-2. So Sunday's matchup between the Tennessee Titans and Indianapolis Colts is a big one.

Tennessee has won five straight games in the series, and they have a .722 winning percentage in division games since 2020, which ranks third in the NFL behind only the Kansas City Chiefs (.833) and Buffalo Bills (.800).

The game starts at Noon CT and is televised by CBS this week. All the TV information is below.

The Titans haven't had much success through the years in Lucas Oil Stadium, winning just five of 15 games. It's cool — in the mid-50s — but dry here in Indianapolis, so the roof is going to be open but the end zone window will be closed to keep some of the cold air out.

Here's a weird stat on the roof open/window closed combination. It's only happened nine times in Lucas Oil Stadium history — and the Colts are 9-0 in those games. The Colts are 74-49 all time in the stadium.

Here are all the details on the game, including gametimes, TV information and so much more. We'll also be doing a live blog straight from press row here at AllTitans.com, so check that out when the game starts and we'll keep you updated in real time. CLICK HERE
