12:27 left 4Q: Ryan Tannehill returns
The Colts go 3-and-out, and Matt Haack has his 4th poor punt out of 5 attempted today. His average punt is 35.2 yards, and that includes a 60-yarder. Tennessee has it at its 45, and quarterback Ryan Tannehill returns.
The Colts need their defense to score, but I'm not sure how that happens when the Titans have zero reason to flirt with any danger.

Terrible half for the Colts offense. Feels like there's disaster waiting to happen on way too many plays, and no explosive plays to make up for it.

That interception was all Matt Ryan. You finally get time to go through some progressions and can't throw right into a defender's lap.

Pressure or not, that just can't happen. That's how the Titans live.
— Joel A. Erickson (@JoelAErickson) October 23, 2022
The officials have missed some unbelievably obvious calls so far, including that facemask on Nyheim Hines.
The Colts also made a brutal mistake you can't make in ANY down or distance.
Both can be true.— Nate Atkins (@NateAtkins_) October 23, 2022
Entering second quarter: Titans 3, Colts 0
Colts: 2 possessions, 1 first down, 2 punts. Matt Ryan has 17 passing yards, Jonathan Taylor 16 rushing.
Titans: 3 points, have a 1st down at their 30-yard line. Ryan Tannehill has 52 passing yards, Derrick Henry 29 total (23 rushing, 6 receiving).

Good call by Gus Bradley to send Kenny Moore II on a slot blitz on 3rd-and-9. They've needed to get hyim more around the ball for a while.
Big opening stop for the Colts defense. They can't be left chasing points against Derrick Henry.— Nate Atkins (@NateAtkins_) October 23, 2022
