The Tennessee Titans lost again in Week 16 falling to the Indianapolis Colts, 38-30, in a game that was nowhere near as close as the final score would indicate.
The Colts ran the ball at will and the Titans’ defense had no answer for Jonathan Taylor or Anthony Richardson. The Titans showed some resolve late, but that was nowhere near good enough.
Tennessee falls to 3-12 on the season with the loss and will head back to the lab for some answers.
Here’s how fans on X reacted to the loss:
That’s your ballgame, as #Colts naturally clinch it with a big run.#Titans will fall to 3-12 with a fourth straight loss.
Next up is road game at Jacksonville.— John Glennon (@glennonsports) December 22, 2024

#callahanout #titans lets get this bum off this team. @titans if you are a serious franchise you make the call this upcoming week.

For the first time in franchise history, the #Titans have gotten worse by record three years in a row.
Quick thoughts on a game that ended up being way more interesting than it had any right to be.https://t.co/zWJWkf3HGl

I swear to God, I better not hear anything about how this team showed heart and blah blah blah.
This was an embarrassment, regardless of the score. #Titans

Game over. Colts hold on to win 38-30 over Titans. Tennessee never had an answer for RB Jonathan Taylor who finished with 218 yds and 3 TDs. @FOXNashville #TitanUp #Titans

If the #Titans players haven’t quit on this coaching staff, then they and the staff are really just that bad.

Lol Mason Rudolph sucks, BUT at least the game ended up kind of interesting and the #Titans put up 30 🤷♂️

I don’t know if I’m happy or mad at the #Titans almost comeback. Like, cool it’s admirable to not give up but…….inexcusable to even be in that position. And it’s gonna give more excuses to say “oh look how tough we are etc” #Titanup

We’ll hear about the gumption of the comeback. Just can’t fall behind 38-7 and have a record-bad day in run defense. #Titans were pitiful and lose 38-30. Now 3-12 with, mercifully, only two games left. pic.twitter.com/oJe386IrcC

Titans didn’t quit but the Colts took the foot off the gas when they had the big lead. Two more games left of this awful season #titans

#Titans need a Raiders win and to lose next week and we’ll be in a position to draft Sanders or Ward. pic.twitter.com/XREWaIiWzn
