The Tennessee Titans lost a thrilling but ugly divisional game to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 5 by a score of 23-16.
Tennessee has now lost three straight games on the road to open up the season, with this one being the most devastating, considering the division implications it could have later on in the year.
Buy Titans TicketsIt was also the Colts’ first victory over the Titans since 2020, and they did it with their backup quarterback following an unfortunate injury to Indy’s promising young signal-caller, Anthony Richardson.
This was a humbling afternoon in a lot of ways, most notably when it came to Tennessee’s vaunted run defense. After being on a historically great tear over the last calendar year, running back Zack Moss absolutely carved the defensive front up on Sunday afternoon.
As you would expect, fans and local media members were not very pleased with today’s outcome. Let’s take a look at some of the social media reactions following the Titans’ seven-point loss to the Colts.
The 2023 #Titans are not a serious football team.

Weekly reminder: the Tennessee titans are not a good football team.

Pathetic, pitiful, weak performance for the #Titans defense today. They should all be embarrassed. Not a single player on that side of the ball has played well. Total failure.

The worst part of that loss is that the Colts just lined up and beat us. No calls to whine about. No fluke plays. Just flat out beat.

Beat the Chargers and Bengals, then we can’t stop the Colts w/o their best player and starting QB. Consistently inconsistent. https://t.co/PpSAgibIFV

Awful. Classic Vrabel L. Continues to leave liabilities on the field than looks “confused” on the sidelines. #Titans https://t.co/32lXh0cExP
