The Tennessee Titans suffered a tough 38-30 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, dropping their record to 3-12. Despite a strong start, the team’s fortunes changed in the middle portion of the game, ultimately leading to the disappointing defeat.
Mason Rudolph started at quarterback and showed promise early, completing his first eight passes, including a 38-yard touchdown pass to Calvin Ridley. However, the Titans’ offense struggled later, with multiple interceptions contributing to the Colts’ lead.
The Colts scored 38 consecutive points from the second quarter to the third quarter, taking control of the game. The Titans attempted to make it interesting late, scoring 23 consecutive points on three scores. Nevertheless, it wasn’t enough to overcome the Colts’ dominant performance.
The team’s struggles were evident in various areas, including defense and special teams. The Colts ran for 335 yards, marking the most in the Titans’ era since 1999, and racked up 458 yards of offense against the Titans.
Coach Brian Callahan expressed disappointment with the final outcome, citing multiple areas where the team fell short. Defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons echoed these sentiments, stating that being 3-12 is unacceptable and emphasizing the need for the team to keep fighting and finishing the season strong.
The Titans will look to bounce back in their next game against the Jaguars in Jacksonville.
