The Indianapolis Colts continued their push for a Wild Card spot with a 19-13 win at the Tennessee Titans.

The Colts had a +4.9 advantage in The Trench Counter, recording 10 more first downs in a game where both teams were about even on a yards per play basis. The Colts had a +13 edge in Total Rushes/Completions.

Andrew Luck went 26-for-38 for 297 yards, one interception and a game-winning touchdown to Vick Ballard in overtime.

Donald Brown and Ballard combined for 135 yards on 26 carries.

Matt Hasselbeck went 22-for-29 for 236 yards and a Kenall Wright touchdown.

Chris Johnson rushed 21 times for 99 yards.

ESPN's John Clayton recently wrote about the 10 worst contracts in the NFL.

Chris Johnson, who signed a six-year, $80.96 million contract, ranks first ahead of Michael Vick, Mark Sanchez, Kevin Kolb and Matt Cassel.

Vick is owed $47.5 million between 2013 and 2015, but the Eagles may part ways with him if Andy Reid isn't retained.

Rounding out the top-10 are DeAngelo Williams, Tyron Jackson, Will Smith, Doug Free and Carson Palmer.

For the Raiders, Clayton rates Palmer's contract as one of the worst due to the first and second round picks the team used to acquire him from the Bengals.

The Tennessee Titans defeated the Buffalo Bills by a final score of 35-34, as Nate Washington caught the game-winning touchdown pass from Matt Hasselbeck with 1:03 remaining in the game.

The Titans had a +8.5 advantage in The Trench Counter, winning the turnover battle 2-0. The Bills had a +2 edge in Total Rushes/Completions.

Chris Johnson had a performance reminiscent of his former dominant self, rushing 18 times for 195 yards and two touchdowns (one for 83 yards).

Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller combined for 141 yards (71 and 70 respectively), while Ryan Fitzpatrick went 27-for-35 for 225 yards, three touchdowns and one interception.

The Bills were also bolstered by a 89-yard kickoff return from Brad Smith.

The Tennessee Titans defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers by a final score of 26-23 on Thursday.

The Titans had a -0.7 deficit in The Trench Counter, nearly matching the Steelers in first downs and penalty yards, while having a +1.8 advantage in the running game. Both teams committed one turnover. Tennessee finished with a +1 edge in Total Rushes/Completions.

Matt Hasselbeck went 25-for-44 for 290 yards, one touchdown to Kenny Britt and an interception.

Chris Johnson rushed 19 times for 91 yards.

Ben Roethlisberger went 24-for-40 for 363 yards, one touchdown and an interception for the Steelers.

Tennessee Titans defensive coordinator Jerry Gray's comments have triggered an investigation by the NFL, according to sources.

"If you are worrying about that, you are not going to go out and try and blow the guy up," Gray told The Tennessean on Thursday. "Great football players have to put that out of their mind. You have to say, 'This is my territory between the numbers, and if you throw the football you better bring the Gator truck.' And that's how you have to play. You can't play timid in the NFL."

The Gator is the used to take injured player off the field.

Gray coached under Gregg Williams for multiple teams.

According to a Titans source, Gray believes the NFL's willingness to fine players has adversely influenced the mentality of his players, and he was attempting to change their thought process.

An often overlooked aspect of football is to establish an early lead. Rather than worrying about establishing the pass or the run, simply getting an early lead allows the specific elements of the game to fall into place.

The Texans, Falcons, Bengals and Chargers lead in first half point differential.

The bottom-five are the Chiefs, Jaguars, Lions, Titans and Panthers.

Jake Locker is expected to miss multiple games and eventually under surgery on his shoulder.

An MRI revealed no structural damage, Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Munchak said Monday. 

Locker reinjured the shoulder in Week 4 after originally sustaining it in Week 1.

“It surprised a lot of us how quickly and how good he felt within 48 hours or 72 hours of that injury last time,” Munchak said. “I hope he is that way so we can make the decision on what’s best for him and the team at that point. … If we don’t feel he can function or play, obviously he won’t play.”
