NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- When the Indianapolis Colts and Tennessee Titans met earlier this season, the teams were heading in completely different directions.

That isn't the case anymore.

Two of the league's hottest teams square off Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium, as the Colts look to match an NFL record with their 21st consecutive regular-season victory and the Titans try for a sixth straight win.

Indianapolis (11-0) became the first team to secure a playoff berth with last Sunday's come-from-behind 35-27 win over Houston. The Colts gained the AFC South title later that evening when San Francisco beat Jacksonville 20-3.

They are also getting closer to clinching the top seed in the conference, although nothing has come easy lately.

The Colts were down 17-0 in the second quarter against the Texans and trailed 20-14 after three before becoming the first team in league history to produce five straight fourth-quarter comeback wins.

"Guys go about their business in a professional way and prepare hard, and you like being around guys that have respect for their job and take it seriously," quarterback Peyton Manning said. "It doesn't guarantee you're going to win every game, but you sure like the way you feel about your team going into each game."
