Don’t look now, but the Tennessee Titans are firing on all cylinders on Thursday Night Football on the NFL Network against the vaunted Indianapolis Colts.

The game has just gone to the half with the Titans leading Indy, 17-6, while dominating in all facets of the game.

What may be most impressive so far has been the defense. Although the Colts have been struggling a bit offensively, especially after the loss of Reggie Wayne, it’s still an accomplishment to hold them to under seven points at the half.

With time winding down in the second quarter, they showcased that defense one more time before they went into the locker room.

The Colts were driving and looking to get a touchdown to go into the half with some momentum, at least. Andrew Luck dropped back to pass, but quickly found himself under duress.

Just as it looked like he was about to escape, Tennessee’s Derrick Morgan made sure that a touchdown run from the versatile luck would not happen:
