BIG PLAY BY WASHINGTON: Nate Washington recorded the longest gain from scrimmage of the evening, turning a pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick into a 42-yard reception.  It was Washington's third reception in 2013 of at least 42 yards. 

FITZPATRICK SETS CAREER HIGH IN COMPLETION PERCENTAGE: Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick completed 22 of 28 passes for 222 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions for a passer rating of 111.6.  His completion percentage of 78.6 set a new career high, topping his previous high of 77.8 percent (21 of 27) against the Philadelphia Eagles on Oct. 9, 2011.  His evening included a 19-yard touchdown pass to Delanie Walker in the fourth quarter.

TOUCHDOWNS ON FIRST TWO POSSESSIONS: For the second time in 2013, the Titans scored on each of their first two offensive possessions with a pair of touchdown runs by Chris Johnson.  Earlier in the season, they scored on their opening two drives against the New York Jets, getting a touchdown and a field goal.

FIRST-DRIVE SUCCESS: For the fourth time in 2013, the Titans opened the game with a scoring drive (all touchdowns).  Chris Johnson scored on a 30-yard run to open the scoring against the Colts.  Previously, they opened games at Houston (Sept. 15), against the New York Jets (Sept. 29) and at St. Louis (Nov. 3) with touchdown drives. 

TITANS ON THIRD DOWN: The Titans offense posted its third consecutive game with a third-down conversion rate above 50 percent.  Against the Colts, the unit converted six out of 11 attempts on third down, a rate of 55 percent.  The Titans were 58 percent on third down at St. Louis on Nov. 3 and 55.6 percent against Jacksonville on Nov. 10.
