Titans' Robert Saleh standing by Cam Ward even after uneven performance
Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward faces growing pressure after a costly late interception in a loss to the New York Giants.
The Tennessee Titans experienced another heartbreaking loss to the New York Giants on Sunday, with quarterback Cam Ward under intense scrutiny for his uneven performance throughout the game. While Ward managed to get the Titans within striking distance, two costly mistakes in the final quarter raised questions about his future with the team.
After the fourth-down pass was thrown into the end zone, Ward then forced an interception in the closing moments of the game, displaying a troubling lack of composure. Head coach Robert Saleh highlighted this issue during his post-game press conference, urging Ward to be more cautious with the ball on the final play. Saleh expressed confidence in Ward's abilities but acknowledged that a smarter approach was needed in high-pressure situations.
Some fans are speculating that Saleh might consider benching Ward in favor of backup Mitch Trubisky, but Saleh firmly denied any such consideration. Ward will need to quickly regain his composure and prove himself as a franchise quarterback, after a disappointing start to his second season.
