Titans Rally to Beat Colts After Second‑Half Collapse

Turnovers with special‑teams breakdowns gave Tennessee short fields that Joey Slye cashed with late field goals to end the Titans' skid.

Overview

  • The Colts led 13-0 at halftime Sunday but surrendered 20 unanswered second‑half points and lost 26-20 at Lucas Oil Stadium.
  • The momentum shift began with a Jonathan Taylor fumble on the third‑quarter opening play and a Daniel Jones interception on the next drive that produced Tennessee points.
  • A 58-yard punt return set up a Titans touchdown and a blocked Colts punt was returned for a score, giving Tennessee game‑changing field position twice in the second half.
  • Joey Slye’s 49- and 44-yard field goals in the fourth quarter gave the Titans the lead and sealed the win after Colts kicker Spencer Shrader had made three first‑half field goals for Indianapolis.
  • The loss drops the Colts to 2-4, highlights season‑long problems with turnovers, situational defense and special teams, and leaves questions about how the team will respond in its upcoming road stretch.
