Rookie quarterback Cameron Ward had a challenging game, finishing with just two completions on seven attempts for 42 yards against the Atlanta Falcons. Titans coach Brian Callahan initially planned for Ward to play two series but changed his mind due to the first-team offense’s struggles. Penalties affected the team's ability to convert third downs. Ward expressed the importance of practice reps to improve under pressure, despite being without key receivers Calvin Ridley and Tyler Lockett during the game. The Titans, however, achieved a productive week overall, winning against Atlanta 23-20.
"I wanted to send them back out there," Callahan said after the game. "I think just the play number was still low. Those penalties kind of knocked us out of some of those favorable down distances and we didn't convert third downs..."
"That's just more reps for me," Ward said after the game. "I'd probably say the biggest thing I emphasize is making it hard in myself in practice for when I have a real rush coming at me..."
