INDIANAPOLIS — The Colts (3-5) are now three games behind AFC South-leading Tennessee Titans (6-2) after Sunday's 34-31 overtime loss at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Colts quarterback Carson Wentz threw three touchdown passes but had two costly interceptions late in the game.
Both teams failed to score on their first possession in overtime, but a Wentz interception led to Randy Bullock kicking a 44-yard field goal with 4:03 left in overtime, capping a wild finish.
The teams combined for two touchdowns in the final 86 seconds of regulation to set up overtime and Colts quarterback Carson Wentz threw two interceptions in the final 7 1/2 minutes after throwing only one all season.
In addition to Tennessee taking a three-game lead in the AFC South, the team also earned its third season sweep in the series.
After the game, Colts head coach Frank Reich said he thought the team played hard and the will to win was there, but it didn't come together in the end.
"We've got good players, we have a good team, and we need to start winning some games, and I think we'll do that," Reich said.
Reich also took the blame for Wentz's first interception in the game that resulted in a touchdown to give the Titans the lead with 1:30 left in the game.
"That was 100% my fault," Reich said. "It was a bad call."
Wentz also said he was beating himself up over the play, saying he was trying to throw it it in the dirt and ended up forcing it.
"That one I am still mad at myself," Wentz said.
The Colts have very little time to rest as they host the New York Jets (2-5) Thursday, Nov. 4. Kickoff is set for 8:20 p.m. ET.
