It took overtime, but the Indianapolis Colts improved to 7-5 with their Week 13 win over the Tennesee Titans. 

A big component of this win was the Colts player of the week, or, should I say, players. 

For the first time this year, we will give our Colts Player of the Week to two players, as the Colts got incredible production from two of their starting Wrs today. 

Alec Pierce: 

The Colts offense got started with a bang this week as their first drive ended with a deep ball touchdown to Alec Pierce. 

Pierce would go on to have three catches on the day, and while the last may not have been a touchdown, it was just as big of a play as it came in overtime to set up the game-winning touchdown. 

He ended the day with three receptions for 100 yards and a touchdown. This was the first 100-yard game of Pierce's career. And we finally got to see what Pierce can do when he is used as a deep ball threat. 

Michael Pittman Jr.: 

Michael Pittman Jr. couldn't let Pierce have all the fun this week. Pittman Jr. led the Colts in targets and receptions this week. He ended the game with 16 targets for 11 receptions, for 105 yards, and the game-winning touchdown in overtime.

Pittman Jr. continues to shine during the final year of his rookie contract. And is in line to receive a huge payday this offseason as the Colts long-term WR 1.
