Carnell Tate scores on an 8-yard catch as Titans beat Colts 26-20

Eagles linebackers shared the field: Nolan Smith got a sack and Jihaad Campbell made 4 assisted tackles in a loss to Carolina.

Carnell Tate became Cam Ward's go-to target in Indianapolis, catching 6 of his 7 targets for 70 yards. The biggest one came early in the fourth quarter, an 8-yard touchdown, and Tennessee held on for a 26-20 road win. Fellow IMG Academy alum JC Latham was on the field at tackle for the Titans. This week, 15 IMG Academy alumni played in NFL games.
