The Tennessee Titans remain mired in disappointment, suffering their fourth consecutive loss of the season after a disheartening 16-0 defeat against the Houston Texans. Star quarterback Cam Ward’s previous excellence is in question. In that stretch, he only finished 54.5% of his passes, throwing for 506 yards with two passing touchdowns and two interceptions. Ward’s current QBR of 23.4 ranks among the lowest in the league, underscoring the team’s struggles on offense.

Though the outlook was certainly grim, Ward stressed the need to get a victory and come together as a unit.
“I just want to win. When is the last time Tennessee won? I don’t know. Everybody in this locker room, we have to win.” – Cam Ward
The Titans’ offensive struggles were compounded when Ward’s pass was intercepted by Derek Stingley Jr., following a deflection off one of his receivers. This catch was a perfect illustration of the Titans’ miscommunication and execution problems that has festered through the season.
We’re 0-4. At this juncture we really have nothing to lose, right. We’ve dropped a quarter of our f
