Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett has been efficient since taking the reins in the wake of Andrew Luck’s retirement, but he could be in for a difficult game this week against the Tennessee Titans.
Brissett has particularly struggled since Week 9 while dealing with a knee injury, and he’ll be up against a tough defense.
Ahead of the Week 13 matchup, Tennessee has given up the ninth and eighth fewest points per game and third-down conversions, respectively. Between this and Brissett’s recent setbacks, the Colts could have some trouble on offense.
Indianapolis narrowly won the last clash between the two teams, 19-17 in Nissan Stadium.
Brissett completed 17-of-28 passes for 146 yards with three touchdowns and one interception.
So far this season, the quarterback has completed 184-of-285 pass attempts for 1,926 yards with 15 touchdowns and four interceptions.
In the Colts’ latest 20-17 loss to the Houston Texans, Brissett failed to throw for a score, completing 16-of-25 passes for 129 yards.
It will be interesting to see how well the Colts perform overall against a much-improved Titans team with a new quarterback at the helm, but it will be particularly curious to see if Brissett can overcome his struggles and get the offense into a rhythm.
The Titans and Colts are set to kick off at noon CT on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium.
