The Indianapolis Colts (3-3-1) lost their fifth consecutive game to the Tennessee Titans (4-2) on Sunday in a 19-10 defeat at Nissan Stadium.
The loss now moves the Colts down to 1-3-1 against the AFC South this season and may have put the team on a path that will likely keep them out of the playoffs for the second year in a row.
Here’s a look at the snaps counts on offense, defense and special teams:
Offense
Analysis
Dennis Kelly took every snap at left tackle while rookie Bernhard Raimann played just two special teams snaps.
There was a bit more planned rotation in the backfield with Jonathan Taylor seeing just 55% of the snaps, the lowest mark of his career since Week 1 of the 2021 season.
Alec Pierce played 97% of the snaps, marking a season-high for the rookie. Michael Pittman Jr. (100%) and Parris Campbell (98%) still led the way.
Mo Alie-Cox, Kylen Granson and Jelani Woods all split snaps but only combined for three targets.
