The Tennessee Titans have been consistently inconsistent through four weeks of the 2022 campaign, something we saw once again in Week 4 in their win over the Indianapolis Colts.
The Titans’ offense looked like the 2019 and 2020 versions of itself in the first half, only to lay an egg in the final two quarters. Thankfully, the defense was able to bail out the offense for the second straight week and get the win.
The Titans are now tied atop the division with the Jacksonville Jaguars, who appear to be more of a threat to the team’s division crown than Indianapolis.
That is surely surprising to the countless people who wrongly thought the Colts were the class of the AFC South going into 2022.

After four games, the Titans have been outscored by opponents 64-7 in the second half, which is wholly unacceptable.
Chalk it up to taking their foot off the pedal or whatever you want, this is a major problem the Titans have to solve and so far offensive coordinator Todd Downing hasn’t been able to do that.
Whatever the Titans are doing at halftime, let’s try and do the opposite next week, OK?
Another save for the defense

For the second straight week, the defense came up huge for the Titans while the offense completely stalled in the second half.
There were certainly some warts along the way, especially when it came to giving up big plays in the secondary, but the defense not only helped contribute to the 24-10 first-half lead, the unit also made it stand up.
