NFL Week 6 overreactions: Time for Colts to clean house? A.J. Brown trade a mistake for Patriots?

Indianapolis blew a 13-0 lead in a loss to the previously winless Titans The battle between two of the NFL's most woebegone franchises lived up to its lack of hype Sunday. In fact, in terms of excitement, it more than lived up to it. But the on-field product was a special sort of fun-bad. Titans 26, Colts 20. It's the first win of the year for Tennessee, and a stunning one at that. The Titans trailed 13-0 at halftime and looked completely lifeless. Bench Cam Ward? Throw in the towel? It seemed on the brink. And then the Colts, being the generous team they are, quite literally gave it away over the next four possessions: From up 13-0 to down 20-13 in about 18 minutes of game time.

Horrifying stuff. The Colts actually tied the game on a Taylor touchdown, only for the defense to commit an awful pass interference to set up a Titans field goal. Tennessee tacked on another field goal late. A collapse in all three stages? Against a winless team? For an organization already skating on thin ice? Check, check, check. Which leads me to say … Since 2020, there have been 16 in-season coaching changes. Shane Steichen will either be the next or, at the very least, join that list. This was an unacceptable collapse.
