3 truths, 1 overreaction from Titans’ 23-16 loss to Colts

Shaun Calderon takes a look at three truths and one overreaction from the Titans’ Week 5 loss.

The Tennessee Titans dropped their third game over the first five weeks of the 2023 season, losing to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, 23-16.

Tennessee entered the day with a golden opportunity, considering all four teams in the AFC South had identical 2-2 records to start the day. A win would’ve given the Titans a share of first place.

This was a demoralizing loss in nearly every possible way. Indy was without its starting quarterback for most of the game, yet the Colts still found a way to move the ball with relative ease, regardless if they tried to pass or run.

This game has naturally led to some overreactions by the fanbase, but it’s also led to some hard truths that it may be time to start accepting as a reality instead of downplaying their overall significance.

This article is going to look at some of the narratives floating around and we’ll discuss which category these particular topics fall under.
