POSTGAME: Titans LOSE to the COLTS 41-20 - 0-3....WHY?????????????
NASHVILLE – Titans fans will not want to remember the 21st day of this September.That's because the Colts came to town and had way too much fun while handing the Titans a 41-20 loss at Nissan Stadium.The Titans were forced to play catch up from the start on Sunday, and they couldn't do it.Now they're faced with having to dig out of a hole after falling to 0-3 on the season.Titans quarterback Cam Ward completed 23-of-38 passes for 219 yards with a touchdown and an interception. He was sacked four times in the contest.On defense, the Titans couldn't stop the Colts. Indianapolis running back Jonathan Taylor ran for 102 yards and three touchdowns, and quarterback Daniel Jones threw for 228 yards and a score.The Titans couldn't sustain drives, and kicked too many field goals.Once again, it was not a recipe for success.Sunday's game got off to an ominous start, as the Colts returned Ward's first interception of the season for a touchdown on the game's opening series. It was Kenny Moore who stepped in front of a Ward pass intended for Tony Pollard, and he returned it 33 yards to make it 7-0 just 49 seconds into the game.The Titans got three points back in less than two minutes, however, when kicker Joey Slye made a 57-yard field goal to cap off a short drive.The Colts then scored 10 straight point, first on a 24-yard field goal by kicker Spencer Shrader, and then on a one-yard touchdown run by Taylor to make it 17-3.Another Slye field goal, this one from 42 yards, made it 17-6 with 10:50 left in the second quarter.The two teams both missed field goals in the second quarter, including a 64-yard attempt by Slye, which was his first miss of the season.Slye later missed another long field goal after a forgettable possession late in the first half, and the Colts kicked another field goal to lead 20-6 at the half.Things got worse, before they got better.And on this day, things never really got better.The Colts stretched the lead to 27-6 on a 20-yard touchdown pass from Jones to receiver Michael Pittman early in the third quarter.The Titans answered with a long scoring drive of their own, and capped it off with a one-yard touchdown run by Pollard to make it 27-13 with 5:09 left in the third quarter.But a 46-yard touchdown run by Taylor made it 34-13 Colts with 1:27 left in the third quarter.Ward then directed a 16-play, 77-yard drive that he capped off with an eight-yard touchdown pass to Elic Ayomanor to make it 34-20 with 8:40 left in the contest before another touchdown run by Taylor made it 41-20 with 5:53 left.The Titans return to action next Sunday at the Houston Texans.
