Overview
- A 26-3 home loss to the Houston Texans on Wednesday left the Tennessee Titans 0-5 and with one of the lowest-scoring offenses in the NFL.
- Cam Ward has completed 63.2% of his passes for 896 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions through five games and is 3-19 as a starter.
- Head coach Robert Saleh said he had a “cool conversation” with Ward and that the quarterback is “in a good headspace,” reaffirming the team’s public support.
- Ward responded to criticism with defiant remarks, saying “I’m not a loser” and that being the No. 1 pick “is not gonna be easy,” while media pundits have predicted he could be replaced.
- The Titans’ choice to keep the No. 1 pick to select Ward and the arrival of a strong 2027 quarterback class have intensified pressure on the front office and could force a decision on whether to stick with or move on from Ward.
