Overview
- Cam Ward went 14-of-28 for 117 yards with two touchdowns and one interception, then cautioned that “winning still hides stuff” and emphasized areas to fix.
- An influx of young contributors swung the game, including touchdowns from Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike, a Marcus Harris forced fumble recovered by Cedric Gray, and a James Williams Sr. blocked punt.
- Tennessee’s plan leaned on the ground game and protection help against Myles Garrett, highlighted by Tony Pollard’s 65-yard touchdown and just one sack allowed.
- The Browns’ late two-point try failed after Tennessee had surrendered a 14-0 start, sealing the Titans’ second victory of the season.
- The win nudged draft positioning, with Tankathon listing Tennessee moving from first to third, and Ward later picked up NFL Network’s “Angry Runs” scepter for his physical play.
