Colts rally in 2nd half to overcome Titans for win

INDIANAPOLIS -- There is a fine line between frustration and panic, but that's exactly where the Colts stood at halftime, trailing the Tennessee Titans 10-0. Peyton Manning described the team as being disappointed with its offensive goose egg in the first half, but they proved they weren't frazzled by scoring two touchdowns and only allowing a field goal in the second half to win 14-13.\nThe win brings Indianapolis to 5-0 as they enter a bye week. Though the past three games have all been nail-biters for the Colts, the end results are no different than this time last year -- no losses.\n"Anytime you are 5-0 and you're not playing your best football, that is a good thing," Manning said. "The key is to just improve. Otherwise, it could bite you in the butt."\nOne aspect of the team's game that is already showing signs of improvement is the running game, as Dominic Rhodes and Joseph Addai combined for 146 yards on 33 carries. Sixty-one of those yards came on the Colts' first possession of the second half which resulted in a 13-yard connection between Manning and Marvin Harrison.\nAn area still in need of improvement, however, is the rush defense. It allowed nearly seven yards per carry for a Titan total of 214. Tennessee marched 88 yards on their first possession without throwing a single pass and culminated the drive with a 19-yard scamper by rookie quarterback Vince Young.\n"You have to do some things to defend Young which opens up the inside run," Dungy said. "But some of it was just over-running things, playing a little too anxious, not tackling well and fundamental things."\nThe defense rectified itself after that first lapse by forcing Young to throw the ball where he was only 10-21 for 63 yards and an interception. Ultimately, the air was kind to the Colts on offense as well with Manning completing 65 percent of his passes and notching two touchdowns. The success came despite an obvious effort by the Titans to overload their pass coverage and force Manning to hand the ball off.\n"We're seeing lots and lots of double coverage," Manning said. "I think I can count on my right hand how many single coverage, man-to-man looks I saw in that game."\nThe Colts were 18-point favorites heading into Sunday's game, but after the final whistle blew, they hadn't even scored 18 points. Manning said he didn't know who the odds makers were, or what their background was in sports, but they built up a lot of expectations that slowly deflated during Sunday's squeaker. A lot of Colts fans may have lost money Sunday, but they didn't lose the game, and as almost every player said in the postgame locker room, winning is what it's all about.\n"The only thing that matters at the end of the day is wins and losses," defensive tackle Montae Reagor said. "And we have five wins and no losses.
