With the Jaguars reeling and the Texans still trying to find their footing, the Week 2 AFC South matchup between the Tennessee Titans and Indianapolis Colts could have crucial implications by the time the playoffs roll around.

And it was pretty crucial for Tennessee to take care of its business, especially at home.

But the Titans failed to do so, letting the visiting Colts ride a three-touchdown performance from quarterback Jacoby Brissett. While Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota was efficient in the game, the lack of proven and reliable pass-catching weapons is still doing Mariota no favors.

That seems to be an endless story for Tennessee, doesn’t it?

At least running back Derrick Henry had a nice game, finding the end zone and contributing with 93 all-purpose yards.

Speaking of crucial AFC South bouts, the Titans better win on the road in Jacksonville next week.
