Adam Vinatieri – Noteworthy
K Adam Vinatieri passed George Blanda (209) for most regular-season wins in NFL history. The ageless specialist has already set NFL career records this season in field goals (574) and points (2,561).
Andrew Luck – Noteworthy
QB Andrew Luck is 10-0 against the Titans, which ties Hall of Famer John Elway (10-0 vs. Patriots) as the only quarterbacks to have a 10-0 record against a team. Luck bumped his career TD pass total to 161, which makes him just the third quarterback in league history to surpass 160 in his first 80 regular-season starts. Marino (182) and Rodgers (160) are the others. Luck’s 79.3 pass completion percentage (23 of 29) is the second-highest number of his career, just behind his 79.5 against Jacksonville in 2014.
Darius Leonard – Noteworthy
LB Darius Leonard’s 104 total tackles are now 15 more than any other player in the league. The second-round selection also had his first pro interception against the Titans as well as his fifth sack. Leonard is the first rookie to have more than 100 total tackles in his first nine games since 1994.
Kenny Moore – Noteworthy
CB Kenny Moore II had a team-high 10 tackles (nine solo) as well as a half sack.
Margus Hunt – Noteworthy – Injury
DE Margus Hunt might not miss any time after aggravating a knee injury that he’s been dealing with for several weeks. “We will wait and see how he responds in the next couple of days,” Reich said, “but we are a little bit more optimistic with Margus.” Hunt, starting full-time for the first time in six seasons, has had his best year with a career-high four sacks and 11 tackles for loss.
T.Y. Hilton – Noteworthy
WR T.Y. Hilton caught all nine passes in which he was targeted for 155 yards and two scores, including a 68-yard TD reception. It’s the ninth multi-touchdown game of his career. Hilton is tied with Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison for the franchise record with 11 games of 150 or more receiving yards.
