Titans interim HC Mike McCoy sees Cam Ward's work "starting to pay off"

The Tennessee Titans endured a 30-24 defeat to the Seattle Seahawks, dropping their record to 1-10. Despite the loss, interim head coach Mike McCoy expressed optimism about rookie quarterback Cam Ward's development. Ward recorded 256 passing yards and a touchdown without interceptions for the third consecutive game. He also achieved a season-high 37 rushing yards and his first NFL rushing touchdown, narrowing a 20-point deficit to a one-score game. Although Ward was sacked four times, this rate has decreased compared to earlier in the season, and he managed to avoid fumbles. McCoy noted Ward's progress, particularly his ability to make throws on the move, which aligns with expectations for the first overall pick in the 2025 draft. The Titans' performance may impact interest in their head coaching position as the team looks towards the future.
