The Tennessee Titans faced a disappointing defeat on Sunday, losing 20-17 to the Indianapolis Colts at Nissan Stadium. The crucial moment came with 7:27 remaining in the game when Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. secured a touchdown pass from Joe Flacco, outmaneuvering Titans cornerback L’Jarius Sneed.
Titans quarterback Will Levis had a tough outing, totaling just 95 yards while completing 16 of 27 passes. Flacco began the game strongly, leading Indianapolis on a touchdown drive and connecting with Josh Downs for an early score, followed by the game-winning throw to Pittman.
The Titans’ offense continued to struggle, leading to further frustration among players and fans. The loss drops Tennessee to 1-4, while Indianapolis improves to 3-3 despite missing starting quarterback Anthony Richardson.
Key moments in the game included the Titans’ offense facing multiple three-and-out situations, and the defense forcing a Colts punt after a miscommunication on a potential touchdown pass. In the final moments, a series of penalties against the Titans allowed the Colts to maintain possession and run out the clock.
Injury updates indicated that Colts’ defensive lineman Dayo Odeyingbo was questionable to return with a hamstring issue, while Titans safety Quandre Diggs managed to come back into the game after an injury scare early on.
The Titans are set to face challenging games ahead against Buffalo and Detroit later this month, while the Colts look to build on their momentum in the upcoming weeks.
