6 Things to Watch For During Sunday's Colts Titans Game Tread carefully, Jake. Last week, Dan Orlovsky returned to earth and the Colts were waxed by the Ravens. This week division rivals the Tennessee Titans come to town. With only three chances left to win a game, can the Colts pull it off? Here's what to watch for this week. 1. Watch a truer test. Dan Orlvosky's first game was against the awful Patriots defense. His second game was against the amazing Ravens defense. The Titans have the 13th best defense by DVOA and are 22nd against the pass. Neither great nor horrible, the Titans should prove a reasonable yard stick against which to measure the true capability of Dan Orlvosky. Tennessee is actually very good against the run, so the Colts will need Orlvosky to complete passes and mount drives. We also know how Curtis Painter played against them, so we should finally have a good point of comparison between the two QBs.
