Mistake-prone Colts feeling the pressure after losing 26-20 to Titans

Indy Colts owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon warned in January that changes would be made if the team failed to secure a playoff spot. Six weeks into the season, the pressure is growing as the Colts are 2-4, following a second-half collapse against the previously winless Tennessee Titans in a 26-20 loss. The team blew a 13-0 halftime lead, turning the ball over twice in the second half, and failing to protect quarterback Daniel Jones.

Defensively, they allowed points on every Titans possession in the second half. Quarterback Daniel Jones went 22 of 42, was sacked six times and threw two interceptions, costing the team scoring chances. Defensive tackle DeForest Buckner said, "We've got to be better. I mean, all three phases. We've got to find a way to win the ball game.

Turnovers -– and I mean defensively, we've got to try and force, get another takeaway." Colts' coach Shane Steichen expressed urgency in addressing the issues, fielding questions about potential personnel changes.
