INDIANAPOLIS – The Tennessee Titans got off to a fast start when quarterback Mason Rudolph returned to the starting lineup against the Indianapolis Colts. Rudolph found wide receiver Calvin Ridley deep for a 38-yard touchdown connection to give Tennessee a 7-0 lead.
The Colts had one-on-one coverage against Ridley on the opening series. Titans coach Brian Callahan took advantage the next time they took the field. Ridley’s catch was his first reception against the Colts this season after failing to record a catch on eight targets when the teams played earlier this year.
The pass traveled 48 yards through the air. Ridley has a league-high 46.3% air yard share this season, thanks in part to his 14.9 air yards per target, fifth highest among players with at least 50 targets this season.
Ridley now needs 183 yards to surpass the 1,000 receiving yard mark. Ridley ended a five-game touchdown streak, tied for the second-longest drought of his career.
