Colts Throttle Titans 41-20 as Michael Pittman Jr. Says Tennessee ‘Didn’t Want to Play’

Pittman’s postgame jab captures rising scrutiny of the Titans’ preparation under Brian Callahan.

Overview

  • Indianapolis improved to 3-0 with a wire-to-wire win that began with a first-minute pick-six off Cam Ward.
  • The Colts took a 20-6 halftime lead after Tennessee botched the end of the half, squandering a chance to make it a one-score game.
  • Pittman said the Titans looked “sluggish” in warmups and recalled teammates saying, “They don’t want to play today.”
  • Tennessee’s errors included a delay-of-game on fourth down despite two timeouts, an example critics cite as poor game management.
  • Daniel Jones posted a 94.1 QBR and Pittman led with six catches for 73 yards and a touchdown, as the loss dropped Brian Callahan’s team to 0-3 and intensified questions about his stewardship.
