Colts' Pittman: Titans didn't look like they wanted to play
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. said he noticed something was amiss pregame Sunday with the Tennessee Titans: they didn't look ready to play.
"I kinda seen it on the pregame intros," Pittman told reporter Jeremy K. Gover postgame. "They kinda looked a little sluggish, they were kinda walking around, nobody was really bouncing. Right then and there, we all sat there and were like, 'They don't want to play today.'"
The 27-year-old added that the pregame moment gave the Colts their edge, as they went on to drub their divisional rival 41-20 and move to 3-0.
"Mentally, we thought we wanted to play more than they did," Pittman said.
Indy needed only three plays to put points on the board Sunday, with Kenny Moore returning an interception off rookie quarterback Cam Ward for a pick-6. Colts running back Jonathan Taylor powered the offense with three scores, and Pittman chipped in with a 20-yard touchdown catch.
Pittman finished with a team-high 73 receiving yards on six receptions.
The Colts are off to their first 3-0 start since 2009, while the Titans are still searching for their first win of the 2025 season.
