Colts’ Buckner voices frustration over recurring losses

After the Colts lost 26-20 to the previously winless Tennessee Titans, defensive tackle DeForest Buckner said he was “sick and tired of the same song and dance every year,” voicing frustration with the team’s recurring struggles. Indianapolis fell to 2-4, and its playoff prospects look increasingly uncertain after missing the postseason every year since 2020. Buckner said his anger was not aimed at coach Shane Steichen or general manager Chris Ballard, whom he said he trusts; instead, he urged every player to examine their own performance and find ways to improve. One report also raised the possibility of the 49ers pursuing Buckner, who is in the final year of his contract, though it framed that as speculation and suggested San Francisco may prioritize edge-rusher help.
