Andrew Luck locked in as Colts blow out Titans

The Indianapolis Colts had no problem moving the ball against the hapless Tennessee Titans in a 41-17 win at Lucas Oil Stadium. Our takeaways:

  1. Andrew Luck is rolling now. The Colts quarterback threw four more touchdowns on Sunday, giving him eight in the past two weeks. Luck averaged 9.6 yards per attempt, posted a passer rating of 123.3 and -- perhaps most promising for Indianapolis -- was not sacked. His lone blemish was a Wesley Woodyard interception late in the second quarter. Luck is currently playing at a level that few of his peers can match.
  1. Charlie Whitehurst wasn't the reason why the Titans lost. Whitehurst threw a touchdown pass, had the Titans' longest run of the game and committed just one turnover on an interception that really wasn't his fault. But don't expect to hear cries of a controversy in Nashville. Whitehurst should resume his role as Clipboard Jesus as soon as Jake Locker is healthy.
  1. Watching Reggie Wayne, you'd never guess he was nearly 36 and coming off a major knee injury. Wayne was open all day and finished with seven catches for 119 yards. Not bad for a guy playing his 200th career game.
  1. The Titans are speeding toward irrelevancy. Ken Whisenhunt's team is riding a three-game losing streak and has allowed 74 points over the past two Sundays. This remains a team without an identity.
  1. The Colts got tricky in the first quarter, successfully converting an onside kick after their first touchdown of the afternoon. Punter Pat McAfee -- who's having a nice season -- delivered a perfect kick to set up the recovery. He was quite proud of himself afterward.
