Overview
- Tennessee lost 27-20 to the Chargers in Week 9, with the offense producing only six points while the team’s touchdowns came on a pick-six and a punt return.
- Rookie No. 1 pick Cam Ward said he will keep the same process and may look for more scrambling opportunities after rushing just 18 times for 46 yards this season.
- Interim coach Mike McCoy said Ward had ups and downs against Los Angeles and emphasized, “We need to see more consistency,” following a 57% passing day with two fumbles.
- Through nine games, Ward has 1,760 passing yards, five touchdowns, a 57.6% completion rate, and a league-high 38 sacks taken.
- Tennessee traded veteran Dre’Mont Jones to the Ravens for a conditional fifth-round pick, and the pass rusher publicly praised Ward as “the truth” who just needs time.
