It's safe to say that Tennessee Titans cornerback L'Jarius Sneed did not have a good day during the team's Week 6 loss to the Indianapolis Colts.

The veteran cornerback was on the wrong end of multiple plays that helped the Colts win the game and they weren't small mistakes, either. Sneed allowed the game-winning touchdown pass to Michael Pittman Jr., he committed a key defensive pass interference penalty, and he allowed Pittman Jr. to haul in a 16-yard reception on 2nd and 10 that allowed the Colts to run the clock all the way down to where there were just :12 seconds left in the game by the time the Titans regained possession.

The NFL hit Sneed with some news he definitely doesn't want to hear on Saturday when the league docked him $14,069 for taunting in the second quarter. He wasn't flagged for the move, however, and that's obviously a good thing as it would've been yet another big mistake that would've had a negative impact on the game.

Teammate Sebastian Joseph-Day was also fined $16,883 for a roughing the passer call with 4:46 left in the third quarter. Unlike Sneed, Joseph-Day was flagged for his violation and the end result gave the Colts a fresh set of downs from the Titans' 31-yard line, instead of facing a 2nd and 3 from the Titans' 46. 

The Titans traded for Sneed back in March. They sent the Kansas City Chiefs a 2024 seventh-rounder and a 2025 third-rounder in exchange for Sneed and a 2024 seventh-rounder, which they used on Jaylen Harrell.

Sneed has yet to record an interception through five games and has 23 total tackles and two tackles for loss on the year.
