Colts
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor took ownership of his fumble before crossing the goal line which shifted the dynamic of the game in their Week 15 loss.
โIt just canโt happen, no matter the game, no matter the scenario,โ Taylor said, via ESPNโs Stephen Holder. โYou could be up by 50, down by 50, playoff game, first game of the season. That should never happen.โ
Jaguars
Despite another loss to fall to 3-11 on the season, Jaguars first-round WR Brian Thomas Jr. had another tremendous day where he caught 10 passes for 105 yards and two touchdowns. Jacksonville HC Doug Pederson praised Thomasโ talent and called him a bright spot in an otherwise lost season.
โWe had high expectations coming out of camp with him,โ Pederson said, via John Oehser of the teamโs website. โAs the season progressed, you see that he can handle more information, he can handle more responsibility and each week we keep finding ways to load him up and he answers. Thatโs what you want from your top receiver. Heโs been such a bright spot. Heโs been a workhorse offensively. For a young player, heโs someone you dial the ball up and chances are heโs going to find a completion. Iโve just been thoroughly impressed with Brian as the season has gone on.โ
- Jaguars LB Josh Hines-Allen was fined $16,883 for roughing the passer (body weight) in Week 14.
Titans
Titans HC Brian Callahan said QB Will Levis wasnโt having his best day and was ultimately benched to try and spark some momentum.
โWe just needed some momentum,โ Callahan said, via PFT. โWe needed something to spark us a bit. We had three turnovers in a really tight amount of time. That gave them some points. . . . I just felt like we needed something. Not everythingโs on the quarterback, but heโs the one thatโs going to take the most heat when those decisions happen.โ
- Callahan said he hasnโt abandoned the idea of Levis reclaiming his role as the starter: โIโve got confidence in Will. Weโve poured a lot into Will. Heโs improved, but he had a very poor outing yesterday. It doesnโt mean that is the end for him. There are a lot of guys that get pulled. Nothing in this league is final.โ (Terry McCormick)
