    So the Titans and Colts have played their games this week but lets look at where the leades are..

    Passing
    Locker leads the way in yards, but Schaub will pass him once the Texans play their game. Newton leads the TD charge with Schaub and Locker having pretty much the same TD/Int ratio

    Rushing
    Foster and C2J are just under 1K yards with C2J being 2 TDs ahead, ex-Titan Reynaud is a bit behind on yards and TDs. Look for all 3 of these guys to be around or above 1500 rushing yards and 20 TDs based on current trends.
    The backs up havent done much, Battle and Mooney have TDs. Bradshaw has 3.

    Receiving
    No surprises here Andre has nearly 600 yards but only 3 TDs, Desean has 100 less yards but one more TD. Marc Mariani leads the way with 5 TDs.

    The Colts love their Tight Ends with both of them having 3 already, Daniels from the Texans also have 3, while the 2 Titans have 1 each. Allen has also got himself 400 yards

    Defense

    Watt has 6 sacks with Derrick Morgan getting 3, Antonio smith and Wimbley both have 2 each. At the DT position Nick Fairley is wrecking opposing QBs with 7 sacks so far while Tennessee's Mike Martin has 3, Jurell Casey only has 1, so he'll look to improve down the stretch. The colts only have 3 sacks from their defensive line.

    Akeem Ayers has 2 ints and 1 TD and leads the LOLBs with 17 tackles, Cushing has 3 ints, DJ williams has 2. Cushing however has 50 tackles, 20 more than the next MLB. Unsurprisingly Robert Mathis has 6 sacks (who needs a D Line!) along with 1 ints, Zack Brown is notching up a decent amount of tackles too.

    Allteraun Verner leads the way with 5 ints and 1 TD but the Colts are miles ahead with picking off passes , Davis and the recently injured Toler has 4 ints and a TD each, Walls has 3 Ints and Butler has 2, ball hawking secondary is the term that springs to mind. The Titans are allowing catches but then making tackles along with Routt from the Texans.

    Elder statesman of the Safeties Ed Reed shows he's still a force to be reckned with with 4 ints and 1 TD, The Titans 2 FS's have 4 TDs and 1 TD between them. Pollard and Bethea are laying the hits in the secondary with a good rate of tackles.

    Kicking
    The Colts kicker has a 100% FG rate, Titans 90% and Texans 81%
    Titans have punted 16 times compared to the Colts 8, but the Colts have put 4 of those inside the 20 compared to just 2 for the Titans
