PREVIEW: #Titans vs. #Ravens....UPSET Alert???? We Discuss! Ravens Ground Game vs. Titans Run Defense: Baltimore boasts one of the league's most lethal rushing attacks, averaging 5.2 yards per carry and piling up 502 rushing yards through three weeks.

POSTGAME: Titans LOSE to the NY GIANTS 12-7.....0-3?? WOW!! #TITANS #nygiants EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- — Playing their first game without quarterback Jaxson Dart, the New York Giants got just enough from replacement Jameis Winston on offense and another big play from safety Jevon Holland to win an ugly football game in the middle of a nor'easter. Winston completed 12 of 18 passes for 117 yards, Holland intercepted Cam Ward with 17 seconds left and the Giants held on to beat the Tennessee Titans 12-7 on Sunday. Coach John Harbaugh thought Winston did what was required and necessary in rainy, windy conditions. “Today is the only day that we have, and today it was enough,” Winston said. “I've had games where I've thrown for 500 yards, and the game didn't turn out the way I wanted it to be. Any time, any day, I would rather win.” In the aftermath of Dart having surgery on his left knee that will sideline him for at least the remainder of the regular season, the Giants (2-1) lost their most important defensive player when Brian Burns injured his right knee in the fourth quarter. Burns is set to have further testing to determine the severity. “There is some hope there, but we won't know until we see the MRI,” Harbaugh said. If it is significant like Dart's injury, it is another blow to the Giants after Harbaugh's tenure as coach got off to a promising start. Burns ranked second in the NFL in sacks last season behind record-setter Myles Garrett. Offensively, Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Matt Nagy kept the ball on the ground, in part because of the conditions, and piled up 138 yards rushing with no turnovers. “Everybody saw how windy it was,” center John Michael Schmitz said. “Everybody saw how wet the ball was. I feel like our offense did a great job protecting the ball.” The Titans (0-3) narrowly avoided becoming the first NFL team in eight years to not pick up a first down before halftime. The offense run by former Giants coach Brian Daboll was held off the scoreboard until Cam Ward connected with Wan'Dale Robinson for the game's only touchdown with 5:35 left. They would have scored earlier had Ward not missed Carnell Tate wide open in the end zone. Ward found a rhythm late but was picked off by Holland in the end zone, his first interception this season. “This was a hard-fought win,” said Holland, who had an interception for a third consecutive game. “For us to come out here and get this done, it was nitty gritty. But it was important.” Tennessee had blunders on offense, defense and special teams. Chimere Dike, an All-Pro as a rookie, fumbled the opening kickoff. It's the second fumble he has lost this season. “We're in a place right now we're 0-3,” defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons said. “We need to do more. We've got to stop talking: say less, do more.” Simmons shines Simmons was one of the few bright spots for the Titans. He sacked Winston in the first half, when he made a career-high seven tackles. No other defensive tackle has had as many in a half this season. “Jeffery Simmons is on the other side of the ball, and you try to trap him — he's an animal,” Giants running back Cam Skattebo said. “ He wrecked a couple plays, and shout-out to him, man. He's a respected player in this league. He destroyed some plays.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

PREVIEW: Titans vs. #Giants...Can the #TITANS Get Their FIRST WIN? We DISCUSS!The Tennessee Titans will travel to face the New York Giants on Sunday, September 27, 2026, at 12:00 PM CDT at MetLife Stadium. This Week 3 matchup centers on a major quarterback shift for New York following a devastating, season-ending knee injury to starter Jaxson Dart, forcing backup Jameis Winston into action. Meanwhile, the Titans (0-2) look to bounce back from a narrow loss to the Eagles and secure head coach Robert Saleh's first victory with the franchise. Key Storylines & What to WatchThe Jameis Winston Era Begins (Again): Following Jaxson Dart's major MCL/PCL/meniscus tear during Monday Night Football, veteran quarterback Jameis Winston takes the reins. Winston struggled initially off the bench against the Rams, throwing for 111 yards and an interception, but a full week of practice as the starter could help steady the G-Men offense.Brian Daboll's Revenge Game: Current Titans offensive coordinator Brian Daboll returns to the Meadowlands for the first time since his departure from the Giants last season. He'll be tasked with opening up the field for second-year quarterback Cam Ward, who showed progress with two rushing touchdowns last week but needs more efficiency in the passing game.Injury Variables: Beyond the quarterback position, both teams are watching key players. Giants pass rusher Brian Burns is managing a sprained ankle, and star rookie wideout Malik Nabers is working through a shoulder injury. Their availability could drastically alter the game plan against a solid Titans defense that picked off Jalen Hurts twice in Week 2. FAMILIAR FACESThe Titans have several coaches and players with close ties to the Giants. Offensive coordinator Brian Daboll was the Giants head coach from 2022 to 2025, while position coaches Carmen Bricillo (offensive line) and Shea Tierney (quarterbacks) also served on the Giants staff. Titans special teams coordinator John Fassel's father, Jim Fassel, was the Giants head coach from 1997 to 2003. Wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson, center Austin Schlottmann, tight end Daniel Bellinger and cornerback Cor'Dale Flott were all signed by the Titans this offseason after previously playing for the Giants.On the opposite sideline, the current Giants coaching staff consists of some recognizable faces from their time with the Titans. Among those are quarterbacks coach Brian Callahan, the Titans head coach from 2024 to 2025, and defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson, who served in the same capacity on Callahan's staff.THE GIANTSGiants head coach John Harbaugh arrived in New York during the 2026 offseason following an 18-year run with the Baltimore Ravens. He compiled 180 regular-season victories with the Ravens to move into 14th all-time in the NFL, while his 13 postseason wins are tied for seventh most all-time.After defeating the division-rival Dallas Cowboys in their opener, the Giants traveled to Los Angeles for a Monday night matchup with the Rams in Week 2. Against the Rams, second-year quarterback Jaxson Dart exited with a knee injury in the first quarter and did not return. He was replaced by 12-year veteran Jameis Winston, but the Rams never trailed in the contest and prevailed by a final score of 28-6.Dart, who was the 25th overall pick and the second quarterback selected in the 2025 NFL Draft behind Ward, notched his 14th career start prior to leaving the contest.

POSTGAME: Titans LOSE 24-20 vs. Eagles. Improvements or Concerns? We DISCUSS The Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Tennessee Titans 24-20 in a thrilling Week 2 matchup at Nissan Stadium on September 20, 2026. [1]Playing under extreme weather conditions with on-turf temperatures recorded at a scorching 157 degrees Fahrenheit, Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts orchestrated a 9-play, 65-yard game-winning drive in the final minutes. He delivered a 3-yard touchdown pass to Darius Cooper with just 9 seconds remaining on the clock to secure the comeback victory. Despite the Titans' defense forcing two interceptions and keeping the game tight until the final play, Tennessee fell to 0-2 on the season while Philadelphia advanced to 2-0. Key Game Statistics Jalen Hurts (PHI): 264 passing yards, 2 touchdowns, 2 interceptions, and 16 rushing yards. Cam Ward (TEN): 183 passing yards, 0 passing touchdowns, and 2 rushing touchdowns. DeVonta Smith (PHI): 10 receptions for 117 yards and 1 touchdown. Tony Pollard (TEN): 14 carries for 64 rushing yards.

PREVIEW: TITANS vs. EAGLES - 0-2? Do the #TITANS have a CHANCE? We DISCUSS! After a 24-22 victory in Week 1, the Philadelphia Eagles travel south to face the Tennessee Titans in Week 2. Here are three key matchups to watch.Jeffery Simmons vs. the Eagles' Interior Offensive LineAt the core of Tennessee's defense sits Simmons, anchoring the interior of their defensive line. Simmons is one of the most talented defensive linemen in the NFL. Last season, he piled up 11 sacks and 60 quarterback pressures, earning his third career All-Pro honors. He is just as disruptive against the run, recording 42 defensive stops.Simmons' strengths align directly with the main issues that plagued the Eagles' offense in their season opener: the performance of the interior of their offensive line.Against the Commanders, Landon Dickerson allowed four pressures, while Tyler Steen was beat four times and Cam Jurgens was called for two penalties. With Dickerson now on the injured reserve list, I believe that the unit will actually benefit from inserting Drew Kendall in place of a struggling veteran. However, facing a dynamic, space-eating disrupter like Jeffrey Simmons is a nightmare draw for Kendall, who brings very little experience against top-tier NFL interior talent.DeVonta Smith vs. Tennessee's SecondaryOutside of a 31-yard sideline grab, Smith had a quiet outing in the season opener, finishing with just three catches for 51 yards. With A.J. Brown's departure this offseason, the spotlight is on Smith to finally have the type of production expected from a true WR1. The Titans' secondary presents Smith with an opportunity to have a monster game.Tennessee's secondary had a mediocre showing against the Jets. Geno Smith, who led the NFL in interceptions the previous season, finished with just five incompletions. Alontae Taylor was a particular weak point, earning an abysmal 37.4 PFF coverage grade.The last time the Eagles faced a Robert Saleh-led defense, Smith caught eight passes for 70 yards. It will be key for the Eagles to get Smith involved early and often.Cam Ward vs. the Eagles' Pass RushWard flashed real potential during his rookie season, showcasing a talented arm and making difficult throws downfield despite a lackluster supporting cast. However, his biggest flaw was a distinct drop-off in performance under pressure.ADVERTISINGThe Miami product took the most sacks in the NFL with 55, tied only with Geno Smith. When he wasn't getting tackled behind the line of scrimmage, Ward completed under 42% of his passes and threw the same number of interceptions as touchdowns (4).In the Titans season opener, those struggles remained the same. Ward completed just 50% of his throws when under pressure, compared to 63.6 percent when he had a clean pocket. Ward was also sacked three times.The Eagles' blitz rate was top ten across the league in Week 1 and found decent success. Despite only recording one sack, the Eagles pressured Jayden Daniels on 50% of his dropbacks. Ward is far less mobile than Daniels. I expect Vic Fangio to remain aggressive in his play calling to heat Ward up, especially after he criticized the performance of the Eagles' pass rush despite the win.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- — The New York Jets made some big moves and changes during the offseason trying to shake up a franchise mired in a decade of losing. For one game, they got exactly what they wanted. Breece Hall ran for 102 yards and a touchdown, Geno Smith threw for 215 yards in his Jets' return and the Jets defeated Tennessee 23-10 on Sunday to spoil Titans coach Robert Saleh's debut against his former team. “We're just following our plan, and that's it,” Jets coach Aaron Glenn said. “That's it. We're happy to get a win. It's only one game.” The Jets never trailed, led 10-3 at halftime with the TD scored by rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq and held the ball close to 39 minutes. Smith, drafted by New York in 2013 and acquired from Las Vegas in March, finished 19 of 24 while efficiently moving new coordinator Frank Reich' s offense. “We started fast, and obviously we kept our foot on the gas and just tried to stay even-keeled throughout,” Smith said. The game matched franchises that went 3-14 last season and prompted the Titans to hire Saleh — who coached the Jets from 2021 before being fired after five games in 2024 — in January hoping to end four straight losing seasons. Tennessee also was the NFL's biggest spenders in March adding free agents. “A little birdie told us that they wrote some checks they couldn't cash today,” Hall said to laughter. The Jets, meanwhile, have the longest playoff drought in the four major North American men's sports leagues with Glenn starting his second season in New York. The Jets left Music City with their first season-opening win since 2023. A team that began last season by losing its first seven under Glenn and dropped its last five dominated Tennessee with a 367-195 edge in total offense. The Jets also had a 19-play drive that used up nearly 12 minutes of the first half. “I'm very disappointed,” Ward said. “We're better than what we showed.” With Glenn calling the defense this season, rookie edge rusher David Bailey, the No. 2 pick overall, had one of three sacks for the Jets, who chased Titans quarterback Cam Ward all game. Linebacker Demario Davis, among the free agent additions, led the defense in tackles, while offseason addition Kingsley Enagbare had a sack. “They got after us,” said Saleh, who called the Titans' plays on defense after not doing that with the Jets. Ward was 19 of 32 for 140 yards and a late touchdown pass to Elic Ayomanor. Glenn deactivated kicker Blake Grupe, who was claimed off waivers Aug. 31 from Indianapolis, and went with Jason Sanders, who was elevated from the practice squad. Sanders made field goals of 33, 51 and 52 yards, rebounding after yanking a 54-yard attempt short and left. Titanic early mistakes Titans kicker Joey Slye pushed the opening kickoff out of bounds for a penalty, and Saleh had to call a timeout to avoid a penalty for 12 men on the field. All-Pro returner Chimere Dike had a teammate pushed into him on his first attempt at fielding a punt. Once cleared from a concussion check, Dike lost a fumble on a kickoff. Honoring Chris Johnson Former running back Chris Johnson couldn't make it Sunday with the Titans set to induct him into their ring of honor. The Titans went ahead with honoring the man nicknamed CJ2K after becoming the sixth man in NFL history to run for at least 2,000 yards. Johnson announced in June that he had been diagnosed with ALS. Injuries Jets: Safety Minkah Fitzpatrick hurt his groin in the first quarter and didn't return. Rookie wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. hurt an ankle in the first and never returned. Glenn said: “I'm not too worried about them at all." Titans: Dike was hurt on his first chance to return a punt when teammate Micah Robinson was pushed backward into Dike. He was evaluated for a concussion and cleared to return. Up next Jets: Host Green Bay in their home opener on Sept. 20. Titans: Host Philadelphia on Sept. 20. Learn more about your ad choices.

PREGAME: TITANS vs. NY JETS - Week 1....a MUST WIN for the TITANS? We DISCUSS!! It's an intriguing reunion in Nashville, as the New York Jets travel to face the Tennessee Titans and their former head coach, Robert Saleh. After leading the Jets from 2021 through the first five games of the 2024 season, Saleh is now tasked with turning around a Titans team coming off back-to-back 3–14 seasons. For Saleh, the emotions of facing his former team will take a back seat to the bigger challenge: starting his tenure in Tennessee with a win. The Titans have plenty of familiar faces from Saleh's time in New York, adding another layer to an already intriguing Week 1 matchup. The Jets are hoping Geno Smith can bring something they have desperately lacked in recent seasons: stability at quarterback. The veteran returns to New York for a second stint and enters the season after a turbulent 2025 campaign with Las Vegas. With Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson alongside him, Smith has enough talent around him to make New York's offense dangerous if he can settle into Frank Reich's system. Meanwhile, all eyes will be on Cam Ward as the Titans' quarterback enters his second NFL season. The former No. 1 overall pick showed flashes as a rookie, but Year 2 represents an important opportunity to take a significant step forward and Saleh and offensive coordinator Brian Daboll will be counting on him to do exactly that.

Titans score 16 unanswered points to beat Seahawks Week 2 of the NFL preseason concluded tonight as the Tennessee Titans eked out a 19-16 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle's backup offensive unit raced to a 16-3 lead over Tennessee, with Drew Lock finding Elijah Arroyo for a 36-yard touchdown pass and Jacardia Wright breaking a 69-yard rushing touchdown run. But the Titans scored 16 unanswered points, including the go-ahead touchdown on a 2-yard rush from D'Ernest Johnson with 5:50 remaining, to capture a 19-16 win. Cam Ward started at quarterback for Tennessee and directed three drives, completing 8 of 12 pass attempts for 69 yards. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Titans SELECT Auburn DE KELDRIC FAULK - We DISCUSS IN FULL DETAIL!!!! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Titans SELECT Ohio State WR CARNELL TATE at Pick # in the 2026 NFL DRAFT and Auburn DE Keldric Faulk The Tennessee Titans selected Ohio State Buckeyes wide receiver Carnell Tate with the fourth pick in the 2026 NFL Draft at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on Thursday, April 23.Tate stands at 6-foot-2, 192 pounds and will aim to be a threat for quarterback Cam Ward as Tennessee looks to build upon its offense. Last year, the Titans took Ward in the first round. Wisely, they took a wide receiver in the first round this year to pair with him.Last season with the Buckeyes, Tate had 51 receptions for 875 yards and nine touchdowns in 11 games. He missed three games with an injury. With the No. 31 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans have selected Auburn defensive end Keldric Faulk, becoming the next first-round pick to join the Titans after they picked WR Carnell Tate No. 4 overall. The Titans picked Faulk after trading up with the Buffalo Bills to No. 31 overall. The Titans gave up picks Nos. 35, 66 and 101 in exchange for picks Nos. 31, 69 and 165. As a result of the trade, the Titans will only have one pick on Day 2 of the NFL draft. Faulk, at 6-foot-5 and 274 pounds, is a power rusher off the edge, filling a need the Titans have for edge defender but not finding the bendy, hyper-athletic type of rusher the Titans were thought to be coveting. Faulk only registered two sacks in 2025 at Auburn despite hype that had him as a potential top-10 pick coming into the season. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

PREGAME: THE MIKE VRABEL BOWL - Titans vs. Patriots. WE DISCUSS! PREGAME: THE MIKE VRABEL BOWL - Titans vs. Patriots. WE DISCUSS! FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Mike Vrabel's been here before. Through the first six weeks of his tenure as Patriots coach, the 50-year-old boasts a 4–2 record—with an upset win over the Bills already in his back pocket—and has New England sitting atop the AFC East standings for the first time since the 2022 season. First place is a spot Vrabel knows all too well, and one that brings things full circle this weekend as the Patriots head to Nashville—another place he's been before. Literally. His opponent in Week 7 will be the same Titans team that fired him less than two years ago. Mike Vrabel Mike Vrabel spent six seasons as the Titans' head coach. / Denny Simmons / The Tennessean / USA TODAY NETWORK Over his six seasons in Nashville, Vrabel built the Titans into a perennial contender. He led them to a 54–45 record, three consecutive playoff berths from 2019 to '21, and AFC South titles in '20 and '21. He also helped them reach the AFC championship game in '19, and earned AP Coach of the Year honors in '21 after earning the AFC's No. 1 seed with a 12–5 season. And yet, despite tallying more wins than losses and building a rock-solid culture, Vrabel's Titans never truly broke through. Two consecutive losing seasons followed that promising 2021, and he was let go by the club in January of '24. What makes a revenge game? As Vrabel prepares for his much-anticipated return to Nissan Stadium, this time in a different shade of blue, he's doing his best to block out the noise. “I think it would file under the category of, ‘Is it interesting or important?'” he explained on Monday morning when asked about going back to Nashville, delivering his signature line. “I would probably say this would be very interesting. But in the end, not very important to our preparation or what we need to continue to try to do to improve as a team.” But let's not sugarcoat it. This one means more. It has to. While Vrabel has done his part in shouldering the blame for his own demise in Tennessee, there were plenty of other circumstances that led to his eventual firing. Between a pedestrian-at-best quarterback in Ryan Tannehill, his front office trading wide receiver A.J. Brown out from under his nose, and having to report to a meddling team owner in Amy Adams Strunk, it's fair to say Vrabel's hands were tied down the stretch of his time with the Titans.

LAS VEGAS – The Titans better hope what happened in Vegas stays in Vegas. In the Sin City, the Titans committed plenty of sins to get them beat in a 20-10 loss to the Raiders. The loss halted the positive feelings coming from last week's win at Arizona, and it dropped the team to 1-5. Quarterback Cam Ward threw a touchdown pass late, but the Titans sputtered on offense for most of the day and turned the ball over three times. While the defense battled, and did its part to keep the game close, this wasn't a day for complementary football, as the Titans couldn't muster up much offense on a day when Ward was sacked five times, and was responsible for all three of the team's turnovers. Ward finished the day 26-of-38 passes for 222 yards and an interception. Ward also lost two fumbles on the day. The Titans were forced to play catch-up football from the get-go, and they couldn't do it. The Raiders took a 3-0 lead in the first quarter on a 50-yard field goal from kicker Daniel Carlson on their opening possession. While the Titans defense created havoc early, providing consistent pressure on Raiders quarterback Geno Smith, the offense struggled to get anything going. Then, late in the second quarter, disaster struck. That's when Raiders linebacker Devin White sacked Ward deep in Tennessee territory, forcing a fumble in the process. The Raiders recorded it at the Titans two-yard line, and cashed it in a short touchdown pass from Smith to tight end Michael Mayer to make it 10-0. The Titans appeared to be headed for points at the end of the first half, but Ward was hit as he threw the ball, and it was intercepted. The Titans trailed 10-0 at halftime. The Raiders then stretched the lead to 17-0 midway through the third quarter on a three-yard touchdown run by Ashton Jeanty. The Titans finally got on the scoreboard with 1:08 left in the third quarter on a 46-yard field goal by kicker Matthew Wright, which capped an eight-play, 51-yard drive. But the Titans couldn't make it much of a game after that, as the Raiders extended their lead to 20-3 on another Carlson field goal with 7:14 left to make it 20-3. A one-yard touchdown pass from Ward to tight end David Martin-Robinson made it 20-10 with 3:03 left, but it was too little, too late. The Titans return to action next week against the New England Patriots at Nissan Stadium. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

LAS VEGAS -- — The Tennessee Titans opened the season with four consecutive losses and were staring directly at a fifth last weekend before they rallied to beat Arizona. Which puts them in the unusual situation of trying to win back-to-back games. Should the Titans beat the Raiders on Sunday, that would be the first time they have posted consecutive victories since Nov. 17, 2022, when they beat Green Bay after topping Denver five days earlier. “Hey, it has been a long time, and this is our opportunity to do it,” tight end Chig Okonkwo said. “Like we say over here, winning cures everything. So the vibe is high. So now we can just keep this momentum going forward and take it to Vegas.” The Raiders have their own concerns heading into this matchup of 1-4 teams. They opened their season with an encouraging victory at New England, with optimism abounding that the franchise might be turning the corner under first-year coach Pete Carroll. Las Vegas hasn't won since. Quarterback Geno Smith has borne much of the blame for the slow start. He has thrown a league-high nine interceptions. “Six of the interceptions this year were tipped in the air. Johnny-on-the-spot defensive guy,” Smith said. "Am I going to look at that and say, ‘Well, don't throw it to the guy who we're supposed to throw it to?' I'm going to throw it to the guy I'm supposed to, and at times, things happen. "People get caught up in results, and they want to look at statistics and try to place blame because that's just how life goes when you're in the position I'm in. But I'm a lot smarter than that and I'm aware of the process. I know exactly what I'm doing out there.” Maybe the Raiders will find the winning formula similar to what the Titans discovered against the Cardinals. Tennessee came back from down 21-6 in the fourth quarter to win 22-21. “It looked like they were dead and gone,” Carroll said. “They just kept battling and hanging in there, and they really made a bunch of plays to make it happen. They earned every bit of it.” Target the tight ends Rookie quarterback Cam Ward finding tight ends Okonkwo and rookie Gunnar Helm helped the Titans' offense kick into gear during their comeback in Arizona. Ward targeted the tight ends 10 times for a combined eight catches for 82 yards. Helm had one catch for 3 yards by halftime with Okonkwo shut out. “I haven't given them enough chances this year, which I did this past week, and they saw what they can do, especially after the run, getting us those (yards after the catch),” Ward said of his tight ends. “So we got a very talented group of tight ends, but we just got to continue to feed them, continue to get them more involved, and it's going to continue to help us.” Okonkwo said he and Helm have been like a “safety blanket” with what they can do, especially after the catch. “Me and Gunnar complement each other in the ways that we play, so I'm glad that they're seeing that,” he said. Back in the lineup Michael Mayer is back in the lineup after missing two games with concussion symptoms, and the Raiders need him. Fellow tight end Brock Bowers is still contending with a knee injury that has dogged him nearly all season. Mayer said he's ready to be the No. 1 tight end if called upon. “I'm definitely going into the game thinking that for sure,” Mayer said. “I'm going to prep for it, study for it. The decision's ultimately not mine, but I'm going to be ready for it.” Healing up The Titans have tried protect Ward without starting right tackle JC Latham during the past four games.

POSTGAME: TITANS Defeat CARDINALS 22-21....in an INCREDIBLE ComeBack Victory!! GLENDALE, AZ ― Well, how about that: The Tennessee Titans won a football game. They put their 10-game losing streak to bed with a 22-21 comeback versus the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium on Oct. 5, getting coach Brian Callahan and quarterback Cam Ward their first win as a tandem. The Titans (1-4) trailed by 15 points for most of the game and looked poised to go down three scores in the fourth quarter on a long Arizona run, but a mental mistake turned what should've been six Arizona points into Titans football. Rookie quarterback Cam Ward responded with a scoring drive. Then the Titans defense forced a quick stop. Then the Titans scored a touchdown on a play that started with a Cardinals interception. Suddenly the score was 21-19 with a little under five minutes to play, and the Titans needing a stop to finish the comeback. Arizona drained some clock, but the defense came up with its stop, getting the ball back to the offense with 1:53 left and no timeouts from the Titans' own 18-yard line. After a couple quick completions, Ward found tight end Chig Okonkwo for 16 yards to get the team near midfield and then a 38-yard dagger to receiver Calvin Ridley to get the Titans well into kicker Joey Slye's range. Slye connected on a 29-yard field goal to win the game. Looking for a free mini puzzle? Play the USA TODAY Quick Cross now. What the heck happened there? Ward nearly threw the game away. At the 4:53 mark in the fourth quarter, Ward dropped back on a third-and-2 from the Cardinals' 20-yard line trailing by nine points. An incompletion wouldn't have been the worst thing; the Titans could've easily kicked a field goal from there and made it a one-score game. But Ward forced a pass to Ridley into a tight window and was intercepted by safety Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, seemingly ending the Titans' threat. Not so fast. Taylor-Demerson went to the ground untouched after the interception and couldn't keep control of the football. Madness ensued. Several Cardinals tripped and kicked the ball backward trying to recover the fumble. Titans receiver Tyler Lockett squeezed ahead and landed on the ball in the end zone. Touchdown, Lockett's first as a Titan. Cam Ward stats: One gutsy quarter Ward was erratic, late on several throws and couldn't find any rhythm on deep shots. He only completed 5 of his 16 attempts in the first half, finishing with just 58 passing yards. Factor in sacks, and the Titans only netted 42 yards through the air before halftime, with the offense stalling across midfield three times. Get the 4th and Monday newsletter in your inbox. Expert guide of the week's NFL action, game results and must-see moments. Delivery: Mon Your Email For a brief moment in the fourth quarter, Ward showed signs of life. With the Titans trailing 21-6, Ward orchestrated a six-play, 80-yard drive headlined by a 47-yard deep crosser to Ridley that got the Titans into the red zone for the first time in eight quarters and a 19-yard rainbow to tight end Gunnar Helm perfectly lofted over Helm's outside shoulder that set up a 1-yard Tony Pollard touchdown. Ward finished the day 21-for-39 with 265 yards and an interception. Ridley caught five passes for 131 yards. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Tennessee #Titans and Arizona #Cardinals meet in Week 5 action in Glendale, Arizona, this Sunday. The two teams have met a total of 12 times, with the Cardinals winning eight of those matchups. The #TITANUP look to change that this week, but it won't be an easy task. The Cardinals are an unpredictable team that keeps games close regardless of whether they win or lose. The Titans have shown flashes of potential, but have been unable to capitalize on much of anything. The matchup between these teams provides some intriguing fantasy football options on both sides of the ball. Let's take a look at some players to start and sit in fantasy football from this Week 5 matchup. Start: TE Trey McBride, Arizona Trey McBride has been Kyler Murray's top target all season. Marvin Harrison Jr. is making a case for himself as well, but McBride leads the Cardinals with 234 receiving yards. The Titans' defense struggles in the middle third, so if Murray targets McBride there, he could end up averaging 13 yards per catch like he did against the Carolina Panthers. Sit: WR Calvin Ridley, Tennessee This was a tough decision. Ridley hasn't played well through the first four weeks of the season. He has 10 receptions on 24 targets for 141 yards, a 41% catch rate, and zero touchdowns. He will be targeted this week against a weak Cardinals' secondary, but trusting him to catch the ball is a risk right now. If you truly need a receiver from this team, grab Elic Ayomanor. He has 12 receptions on 25 targets for 151 yards and a touchdown. His catch rate is still under 50%, but it's higher than Ridley's. Start: QB Kyler Murray, Arizona The Titans' defense struggles mightily against the run and has not been good at getting pressure on the quarterback. That could change this week with Jeffery Simmons set to take advantage of Evan Brown, who has struggled to gain leverage and anchor. This will cause Murray to roll out more often than he would like, which also means he will run with the ball more often than he'd like. With the Cardinals using their third-and fourth-string running backs, Murray becomes the focal point of the run game. Start: RB Tony Pollard, Tennessee If there's anything about the Titans' offense that is good, it's Tony Pollard. Okay, that's not really fair, but Pollard is the most reliable offensive player the Titans have. He is a volume back; he's not going to average five yards per carry like Christian McCaffrey, but he will get plenty of touches. And, he's one of the first players to find the end zone for Tennessee regularly. The Cardinals' run defense is solid, ranking in the top 10, but Pollard is essentially the Titans' entire run game right now. He will get his yards this week. Start: WR Marvin Harrison Jr., Arizona Trey McBride may be the top-targeted player so far, but Harrison is making a case for himself to be Murray's favorite. He's also facing a Titans' secondary that has allowed six passing touchdowns and ranks 22nd versus wide receivers. In his second year, Harrison is finding his footing and learning to fully implement his talents on the field. He will get his targets this week, and he's likely to give L'Jarius Sneed a run for his money when he does catch the ball. Sleeper: RB Emari Demercado, Arizona The starting running back by default, Demercado, is in his third season in the NFL. Trey Benson was placed on injured reserve this week, and James Conner was placed on injured reserve with a foot injury, which is how Demercado ended up the starting running back. He has just four carries in 2025, but as the lead back, he will get 12-15 touches on Sunday. The Titans' run defense is fifth-worst in the NFL, which means that Demercado could have a breakout game.
