The Tennessee Titans dropped a gut-wrenching thriller in overtime to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 13, 31-28.
This was not only the first loss for the Titans at Nissan Stadium this season, but the Colts also swept the season series for the first time since 2018.
This game was a beautiful disaster until the final whistle. In the end, a handful of crucial injuries, undisciplined penalties and horrible pass defense derailed the Titans’ chances to escape with a win and get back into the wild-card race.
Despite all that the Titans certainly had their chances to leave Nissan Stadium victorious, but they couldn’t overcome a lot of the mess that occurred in the second half.
As you can imagine, the reactions by Titans fans and local media members were largely filled with disappointment and anger after such a brutal loss.
Let’s take a look how fans and media reacted to the wild Week 13 game.
The good news is that the Titans haven’t spent high draft picks at these three positions in a long time. https://t.co/hjeZcIXREo

Absolute disaster for #Titans who lose in OT to #Colts, 31-28.
Gave up 10 points on blocked punts and missed a PAT. Took a FG lead in OT then yielded a 55-yard pass after a bad penalty aided IND.

#Titans have to move on from the OC this offseason. Just absolute idiotic play calling.
That special teams coordinator’s got a hot seat too

#Titans had every chance to win that game. Can’t wrap my head around the defensive call to leave Tre Avery 1-on-1 with Pittman there.
Oh well, draft pick szn
