Defensive lineman Denico Autry had two sacks and forced one fumble against his former team.. Henry also caught three passes for 33 as Tennessee improved to 25-1 when he has at least 25 touches.. Coach Mike Vrabel won his 45th game and passed Jack Pardee for third on the franchise’s career list. Colts: Taylor had 20 carries for 42 yards before leaving the game.. Ryan wound up 27 of 37 with 356 yards, two TD passes and one interception.. Alie-Cox had six catches for 85 yards and had the first multi-TD game of his career.. Receiver Alec Pierce had four receptions for 80 yards.. Indy’s defense allowed 77.0 yards rushing in the first three weeks.
