In what was one of the weirdest games in recent memory, the Indianapolis Colts (7-5) defeated the Tennessee Titans (4-8) in overtime, 31-28, on Sunday at Nissan Stadium.
Sweeping the series against the Titans for the first time since 2018, it also marked the first time the Colts won in Nashville since that season. Thanks to some crucial plays on special teams and another stellar performance from Michael Pittman Jr., the Colts are now riding a four-game winning streak.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to the Week 13 win:
The years when you don’t expect to be good are the most fun. We’re on to Cincinnati. #ForTheShoe https://t.co/SZtCDWhUNt

Colts Michael Pittman Jr.
*passed Marvin Harrison for most receptions by Colt in first 4 seasons (311).
*joined Marv as only Colts with 10+ receptions, 100+ yards in consecutive games
*8+ receptions in 5 straight games, tied for second-longest streak in club history— Mike Chappell (@mchappell51) December 4, 2023
Colts did a thorough, labor-intensive coaching search helmed by one of the best GMs in the league and they came out of it with a star at one of the three most important positions in an organisation (GM/HC/QB). Feeling optimistic that the post-Luck purgatory may finally be ending. https://t.co/juXjTNBLZ4
