Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay was very vocal this offseason about his team’s inability to beat the Tennessee Titans in recent years after the Titans have won the last three meetings between the two, and four out of the last five.
“They kick our a** and they have been kicking our a**,’’ Irsay said back in March. “We’ve got to get past that. I don’t hide from the facts that are out there competitively. I want to put them right in front of us… you have to know where your nemeses lie.
“It’s just completely unacceptable the way they’ve dominated the division over us. It just is. And I give (coach Mike) Vrabel a ton of credit. He’s done a great job. He’s a tough guy. We have to prove we can beat them and beat them when it most matters and consistently beat them.’’
Ahead of their first meeting of the season, Irsay is now asking Colts fans for help in beating the Titans in a series of tweets he has fired off on Thursday.

Seven tweets? Now that’s dedication.
The Titans will not only look to extend their winning streak against the Colts but also their road winning streak against AFC South opponents, which currently sits at eight games.
