Nashville, Tennessee – The Tennessee Titans faced a disappointing defeat against the Indianapolis Colts, losing 41-20 at Nissan Stadium on September 21, 2025. This loss marks the Titans’ ninth consecutive defeat, extending a streak that has carried over from last season.
The Colts dominated the game, with quarterback Daniel Jones throwing for 228 yards and one touchdown. Running back Jonathan Taylor was a standout performer as well, rushing for 102 yards and scoring three touchdowns. The Colts were efficient on offense, scoring on six of their eight possessions throughout the game.
The match started off poorly for the Titans when Kenny Moore of the Colts returned an interception for a touchdown on Tennessee’s opening drive, giving the Colts an early lead. Titans quarterback Cam Ward completed 23 of 38 passes for 219 yards, along with one touchdown and one interception, while being sacked four times during the game.
By halftime, the Colts led 17-6, bolstered by a field goal scored right before the break. The Titans managed to force the Colts to punt for the first time this season in the second quarter, but this brief spark was not enough to shift momentum in their favor.
In the second half, the Colts extended their lead to 27-6 with a touchdown pass from Jones to wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. The Titans responded with a touchdown run from Tony Pollard, narrowing the score to 27-13. However, the Colts quickly responded with a staggering 46-yard touchdown run from Taylor, further solidifying their dominant performance.
Throughout the game, the Titans struggled with discipline, committing eight penalties for a total of 68 yards, which compounded their performance issues. The frustration among Titans fans was palpable, with many expressing their displeasure with the team’s output vocally during the match.
Adding a note of recognition amid the defeat, longtime play-by-play announcer Mike Keith was inducted into the Titans’ Ring of Honor during halftime, honoring his enduring contributions to the franchise.
The Titans played without four key starters, including right tackle JC Latham and right guard Kevin Zeitler, which impacted their ability to compete effectively. Following this loss, the Titans will next face the Houston Texans, entering a challenging three-game road trip.
With this victory, the Colts improved to a 3-0 record for the first time since 2009, while the Titans fell to 0-3.
