Last meeting
In Week 17 of last season, Kerry Collins replaced an injured Vince Young and led the Titans to a 16-10 win over the Colts as well as a wild-card berth in the playoffs.

Streaks
The Colts have beaten the Titans eight of the last 10 times, and lead the overall series, 15-11.

Last week
LenDale White ran for three touchdowns and 149 of the Titans' franchise-record 332 rushing yards in a 34-10 route of the Chiefs. ... Peyton Manning posted a 46.6 passer rating in a 34-14 loss to the Packers at Lambeau Field.

Keep your eye on ...
Rhodes on a roll: With RB Joseph Addai expected to miss up to a month with a hamstring injury, Indy's rushing attack has not missed a beat with backup Dominic Rhodes. Since Addai went down in the first quarter of Week 6, Rhodes has totaled 45 carries for 146 yards and three touchdowns, as well as four catches for 41 yards. Rhodes faces the league's eighth-ranked rush defense this week.

White having his way: A week after recording a paltry 4 yards on three carries, White ripped off a career-high 149 yards and three touchdowns vs. the Chiefs. Tennessee's offense is built to run the ball and it is doing that at a pace of more than 34 times per game. Could be another big week; only four teams are ranked below the Colts in rush defense.

Tennessee's O-line clicking: White and rookie Chris Johnson deserve plenty of credit for the success of Tennessee's running game, but Jeff Fisher's offensive line is what keeps this offense rolling. In addition to aiding a ground game that averages 154.5 yards per game, Tennessee's offensive line of center Kevin Mawae, tackles David Stewart and Michael Roos, and guards Jake Scott and Eugene Amano have allowed just two sacks all season.
