Rookie Quarterback Showdown

The Tennessee Titans were officially eliminated from playoff contention with Sunday's 25-3 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The defeat capped a rare run of four straight home games — the Titans didn't win any of them — but was far less competitive than the other three. It also guaranteed the Titans will finish last in the AFC South for the third straight year and put them in position to achieve some new levels of futility over the remaining five games. Next up is a trip to Cleveland for a game against the Browns that could pit Titans quarterback Cam Ward, who went exactly where he expected to go in the 2025 NFL Draft, against Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who experienced an unexpected fall during the draft. Ward will need help from his offensive line, which must find a way to block Cleveland's Myles Garrett, who has a chance to set the NFL's single-season sack record.
