The Tennessee Titans couldn’t hang onto a fourth quarter lead, falling to the Indianapolis Colts, 20-17, on Sunday afternoon at Nissan Stadium.
The game fit a familiar Titans blueprint with the defense playing dominant football, while the offense, outside of the ground game, continued to struggle. There was also the patented Will Levis interception that was entirely avoidable.
In defeat, the Titans fall to 1-4 on the season and third place in the AFC South.
Now let’s take a closer look at the snap counts that contributed to the Titans’ Week 6 loss.
Offensive snaps: 58
Defensive snaps: 70
Special teams snaps: 26
The Titans continued their top-heavy, non-rotational approach against the Colts. 10 of their 11 offensive starters saw 40-plus offensive snaps or 69-plus percent of the snap share.
Defensively, things were no different as all 11 starters saw a minimum of 53 snaps or 76 percent of the snap share. Four players took 100 percent of the snaps, two others took 99 percent of the snaps, and one took 93 percent of the snaps.
This is a non-sustainable approach.
