Receiver Calvin Ridley isn't happy with how he's being used in the Tennessee Titans' offense.

The six-year veteran had no catches in the Titans' 20-17 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. According to NFL NextGen Stats, he was targeted eight times on 21 routes. Ridley finished the day with a 9-yard run.

After the game, Ridley was asked about the coaches' intention to give him more goals early in the game. But the ball didn't come his way until the fourth quarter, which he pointed out.

“I need something at the start of the damn game too,” Ridley said. “S*** is getting crazier and crazier for me. It is like it is. I sucked today and need to get better.”

“I need to get the ball a little earlier in the game so I can be in the game and here with the team so I can play well too,” he added.

Earlier this week, Titans head coach Brian Callahan took responsibility for Ridley's lack of performance.

“I have to find better ways to get Calvin the ball.” Callahan told reporters. “I have to use his speed and explosiveness more. Just get it into his hands any way you can. It’s up to me to get him to the places where he can get the ball better.”

Ridley's performance against the Colts marked the third straight game in which he averaged fewer than 10 yards. In Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers, Ridley had 9 yards. Against the Miami Dolphins in Week 4, he had 5 yards. He only caught one pass on three targets each game.

Sunday's eight goals were actually the most Ridley has received all season, surpassing the seven he saw in Week 1. This season, he has nine catches (on a team-leading 19 targets) for 141 yards and a touchdown.

That may not be the performance the Titans envisioned when they signed him to a four-year, $92 million free agent contract in the offseason. Ridley appeared to be the team's No. 1 receiver alongside DeAndre Hopkins and Tyler Boyd.

Ridley's issues could point to an overall problem with the Titans. No receiver has more than 10 catches. Running back Tony Pollard leads the team with 13 receptions.

Sunday's loss dropped the Titans to 1-4, a half-game ahead of the Jacksonville Jaguars (1-5) for third place in the AFC South.
