Indianapolis Colts had a stellar performance Thursday night, with Philip Rivers throwing for 308 yards and a touchdown to surpass Dan Marino in career passing yards, leading the Colts to a 34-17 victory over the Titans.

In the game, Stephen Gostkowski made kicks for the Titans, while D’Onta Foreman caught a five-yard pass from Ryan Tannehill for an early Tennessee touchdown. The first quarter concluded with a 24-yard field goal from the Colts’ Rodrigo Blankenship.

The second quarter was action-packed, with Tennessee scoring early with a 50-yard field goal from Gostkowski. Blankenship responded with a kick of his own, and Philip Rivers connected with Nyheim Hines for the Colts’ first touchdown. The Titans answered back with a touchdown run by Jonnu Smith. Blankenship sealed the quarter with another field goal for Indianapolis.

As the game progressed, the Colts intensified their efforts, and the third quarter began with both teams deadlocked. However, in the closing minutes, Indianapolis scored two touchdowns. The first came from a two-yard run by Hines, followed by a touchdown from T.J. Carrie who returned a blocked punt by Tennessee. The Colts secured their final touchdown within the first six minutes of the last quarter with a two-yard run by Jacoby Brissett.

The Colts are set to host the rematch on November 29.
