    The Tennessee Titans suffered a disheartening 20-17 loss to the Indianapolis Colts at Nissan Stadium on Sunday, leaving them just 1-4 in 2024.

    Tennessee had a 17-10 lead in the fourth quarter but allowed 10 points in the final 15 minutes while its final five offensive possessions totaled just 39 yards.

    Will Levis continued to struggle as the Titans' starting QB, throwing for 96 yards on 16 of 27 passes with one interception.

    Here are the three key moments from Sunday's Titans loss:

    Key moments from the Tennessee Titans vs. Indianapolis Colts

    Scenario: Titans 17, Colts 10 with 6:19 left in the third quarter after the Pollard TD

    The Titans got the ball on a 10-10 game early in the second half and orchestrated an 8-minute drive capped by Tony Pollard's 23-yard touchdown run on a simple draw play on 3rd-and-19 .

    The Colts defense seemed uninterested in attacking Pollard on the play. However, Tennessee had five offensive possessions and only four more rushing attempts after that TD in a one-score game, despite running for 146 yards in the game.

    Scenario: Colts 20, Titans 17 with 7:27 remaining in the fourth quarter after the Pittman TD

    The Colts' go-ahead touchdown came on a looping ball by Joe Flacco on third down in the face of a Titans blitz, and Pittman overpowered L'Jarius Sneed by positioning himself to snatch the ball for the score.

    Sneed was flagged for a 33-yard defensive pass interference penalty early in the drive.

    Although there was still half of the fourth quarter left, the green TD was the game-winner.

    Scenario: Colts 20, Titans 17, 4:52 left after interception

    Will Levis left too much air on a deep ball intended for Calvin Ridley, and Colts safety Julian Blackmon intercepted the pass. It was Levi's first turnover of the game.

    Although it wasn't the Titans' final possession of the game, Tennessee's offense had similar problems moving the ball on every possession in the fourth quarter. The Titans also had trouble getting the ball to Ridley, the coveted free-agent signing who totaled eight goals with no catches on Sunday.
