Cam Ward has best game of rookie season in Titans' loss to Seahawks: 'Taking that next step'

The Tennessee Titans suffered their sixth consecutive loss, falling to 1-10 after a 30-24 defeat to the Seattle Seahawks. Despite the loss, rookie quarterback Cam Ward showed significant improvement, delivering his best performance of the season. Ward completed 28 of 42 passes for 256 yards, with one touchdown and no interceptions, achieving a passer rating of 91.0 and a +4.4 EPA, his first positive EPA of the season. Ward demonstrated resilience under pressure, taking four sacks but managing a +11.0 completion percentage over expected when pressured.

Ward's performance against a strong Seahawks defense, which recently contained MVP favorite Matthew Stafford, marks a positive development for the Titans. The Titans' offense, previously averaging an NFL-low 12.3 points per game, managed to score 17 against Seattle. Ward's continued development is considered crucial for the team's future.

In addition to Ward's progress, other Titans rookies made significant contributions. Tight end Gunnar Helm led the team
