Robert Saleh: Cam Ward's our starting quarterback
The Titans drove for a field goal to open Sunday's home game against the Texans, but any hope that was a sign of good things to come came crashing down over the rest of the afternoon.
Robert Saleh, the head coach of the Tennessee Titans, firmly stated at the end of a devastating 26-3 loss to the Houston Texans that Cam Ward will remain their starting quarterback for the remainder of the season. After driving for a field goal in the opening minutes, the Titans spiraled into an abysmal performance, punting four times and turning the ball over twice before failing on two crucial fourth downs.
Their offensive output was a mere 187 yards, with Ward completing 23 of his 36 attempts for 170 yards, getting sacked four times in the process. This dismal display saw the Titans rank dead last in both points scored and offensive yards, prompting questions about the need to consider benching Ward. However, Saleh firmly dismissed these concerns, declaring, "Cam's our starting quarterback.
We're going to give him every opportunity to be successful this year. We're going to continue working with him, grinding with him and trying to help him get better." Despite the lackluster showing, Saleh remains confident in Ward's potential, emphasizing that the team will persist in their efforts to improve the offensive output, but any changes are not anticipated to take place under center.
