Quarterback Cam Ward completed 19 of 32 attempts for 140 yards and one touchdown during the Tennessee Titans' 23-10 loss to the New York Jets.
The Tennessee Titans suffered a 23-10 loss to the New York Jets on Sunday, marking a losing debut for head coach Robert Saleh against his former team. Quarterback Cam Ward completed 19 of 32 pass attempts for 140 yards, recording a single touchdown and multiple missed throws. Tennessee’s offense remained scoreless until late in the fourth quarter when Ward connected with Elic Ayomanor on an 11-yard slant for the team's only trip to the end zone.
Ward struggled with accuracy throughout the contest, missing short passes to running back Tyjae Spears and wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson. A potential big play to Carnell Tate across the middle on a second-quarter third-and-3 also went incomplete. The offensive unit, led by new coordinator Brian Daboll, produced four three-and-outs that resulted in punts, drawing boos from the Nashville crowd.
ESPN reports that Saleh intends to review game film before making personnel decisions following the defeat. The loss comes after both franchises finished the previous season with 3-14 records. Despite the offensive struggles, Ward noted the team had worked through difficult offseason sessions and expressed confidence that the execution would improve in upcoming weeks.
