Tennessee Titans head coach Jeff Fisher sent fans into a tizzy Tuesday when he sported an Indianapolis Colts football jersey at a charity function.

Fisher revealed the Peyton Manning uniform after introducing former Colts head coach Tony Dungy, saying “I just wanted to feel like a winner.”

The Titans, a legitimate AFC contender last year, started this season off 0-6, while the Colts boast an unblemished 5-0 record.

Many tweeters in Nashville, Tennessee were able to laugh off the controversy:
