The Tennessee Titans lost 20-17 to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday at Nissan Stadium, marking another setback in their challenging season.
Colts receiver Michael Pittman Jr. caught the decisive touchdown pass from Joe Flacco with 7:27 remaining in the game, overcoming coverage from L’Jarius Sneed.
Titans quarterback Will Levis struggled throughout the game, finishing with 95 passing yards on 16 completions out of 27 attempts.
Flacco, filling in for the injured Anthony Richardson, started strong with a touchdown pass to Josh Downs on the game’s opening drive and later connected with Pittman for what proved to be the game-winning score.
The Titans fell to 1-4 for the season and face a tough schedule ahead, including upcoming games against Buffalo and Detroit. The Colts improved to 3-3.
The Titans’ offense struggled to gain traction, punting the ball away with just over two minutes remaining after Levis failed to complete any of his three final pass attempts.
Throughout the game, Tennessee’s defense managed to force the Colts into several tough situations, but ultimately the Titans could not capitalize on their opportunities.
Key moments included:
– A critical 33-yard pass interference call against Sneed that set up the Colts’ go-ahead touchdown.
– A contentious no-call on pass interference during a third-down play for the Titans, leading to more frustration for head coach Brian Callahan.
As the Colts drained the clock, a final multi-lateral play by the Titans failed to achieve any significant yardage, sealing their defeat.
Overall, the Titans need to address their offensive inconsistencies as they move forward in the season.
