The Colts ranking No. 6 in the NFL in takeaways, counted through a league-leading five fumbles recouped, and also the Titans are actually still tied for last in giveaways and also ranking dead last in giveaways every game.But remove the takeaways and the Colts' defense has been among the league's worst by means of 5 full weeks.

Yet Richardson' dual-threat ability puts extra anxiety on the Titans' linebackers to stay home as well as edge guardians to have. The flip side, of course, is that Richardson has actually been obstructed 6 times to Flacco's no.
