TEAM NOTES – DEFENSE
- The Titans went into their game against the Colts ranked first in total defense. They allowed 269 yards by the Colts, bringing their season average to 248.8 opponent yards per game. That is the best number for the team through its first five games of a season since 1976, when Oilers opponents averaged 208.2 yards per game through five contests.
- The Titans defense kept the Colts to 189 net passing yards, marking the fifth consecutive game to begin the season in which their opponent did not reach 200 net passing yards. It is team's first time doing so in each of the first five games of a season since 1986.
- Through five games in 2024, the Titans have not allowed a player from an opposing team to pass for 300 yards, rush for 100 yards, or post a 100-yard receiving game. This is the seventh time in franchise history the club has started the season without allowing any such performances in its first five games. The last time was 2000. The Titans and Los Angeles Chargers entered Week 6 as the only NFL teams that had not allowed a 300-yard passing game, 100-yard rushing game or 100-yard receiving game in 2024.
- The defense's streak of not allowing an individual 300-yard passing performance reached 10 games. The last time they had a streak of 10 such games was a 12-game stretch from November 2018 to September 2019.
- The Colts offense averaged only 5.0 yards per pass attempt, marking the fourth time in five games that the Titans defense kept their opponent under 6.0 yards per attempt. Through the early afternoon games of Oct. 13, the Titans defense averaged an NFL-best 5.5 passing yards per attempt in 2024.
