Ridley suggested he didn't feel called upon enough early in the game, as most of his goals came in the second half.
“Well, we need something at the beginning of the game,” Ridley said. AtoZ Sports Nashville. “S— is going crazy for me. That's the way it is. Today was bad. We've got to be better, but if we don't get the ball a little bit earlier in the game — I’m going to go out there and be with the team, so I’m going to play well as well.”
Ridley has only had two catches on six targets in the past two games. The Titans had a week to go before playing the Colts.
