NFL Schedule & Scores 2013 - Thursday Night Football November 14 Preview: Colts, Titans Square Off In Key Divisional Game
The Indianapolis Colts will look to take advantage of a beaten up Tennesee Titans squad and bounce back from last week's disappointing loss when they take the field for a Thursday Night matchup.
The Titans are sinking quickly and the team has now lost four of the last five games. To add insult to injury, starting quarterback Jake Locker is now out for the season after suffering a right foot injury and backup quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick will get the start tonight against Indianapolis.
"We're just concentrating on these seven weeks," coach Mike Munchak said. "That's all we're concerned about. Next year is next year (with Locker). Right now we just got to go forward and try to win a game."
The Titans hope to salvage what is left of their season, and if they can find a way to turn things around, they'll be right back in the playoff hunt. At 4-5, the team has no choice but to rally behind Fitzpatrick and hope that he will help turn the season around.
"He's going to be the starting quarterback from now on because Jake is out for the year, so Ryan has no choice but to play (well)," tight end Delanie Walker said. "I feel like he did a great job against the Jaguars. This is his opportunity to be the man now."
The Colts, on the other hand, suffered a lopsided loss last week to the St. Louis Rams, of all teams. Still, the team has won five of their last seven and they're not going to let that deter them from getting back on trick.
"Certainly we're not going to bury our head in the sand on this past ball game," Colts coach Chuck Pagano said. "We'll address the issues like we always address them. We know there are things that need to be fixed and we'll go to work on fixing those things."
