Insider: 10 thoughts on the Colts' 24-17 loss to the Titans

after yet another loss to the Titans, who are very much alive again in a very underwhelming AFC South.2. The Colts decided to finally make a change on the offensive line, startingin place of Danny Pinter at right guard. The move came after weeks of Pinter struggling with power in 1-on-1 situations, allowing interior pressure in Matt Ryan's face that has distorted his vision and comfort.

3. Of course, the one big miss they did have, when Quenton Nelson whiffed on Denico Autry, resulted in a strip-sack of Ryan that set up a short field for the Titans' first touchdown. Ryan has now fumbled nine times in four games, putting him on pace for 38 this season, which would be the most in NFL history. He said last week that this has been an outlier, but it's showing up every week.

5. This was another game where by the numbers, the Colts played fairly well on defense, but it all feels underwhelming. They recorded five quarterback hits and three sacks and held the Titans scoreless in the second half, which looks great. But this felt like an opponent they could overwhelm given it was Ryan Tannehill without A.J. Brown in their building, and they never did.

8. The same effect is getting to Ryan. With Fries in for Pinter, the pockets were much cleaner on the whole, with the exception of the block Nelson missed. But Ryan came out so rushed on his drop-backs, to the point where he was killing a couple plays with throws at the feet when pressure was not around him.

9. It was interesting to see Reich opt to punt from the Titans 39-yard line instead of trying a 56-yard field goal with Chase McLaughlin, who hit kicks of this length last year with the Browns and has a good track record indoors. He did go to McLaughlin for a 51-yarder just a couple drives later, and he missed it left. On the decision to punt, Matt Haack shanked the ball out of bounds for 19 yards.

Colts season is over!
