Titans, Cam Ward’s Week 10 challenge gets more complicated
The Tennessee Titans and QB Cam Ward will have a tougher challenge versus the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 10.
Cincinnati, Ohio - On November 1, 2026, Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward took the field against the Cincinnati Bengals at Paycor Stadium. After a Week 8 breakout performance, fans eagerly anticipated Ward's return to action. However, the matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 10 added a new level of complexity to Ward's challenge.
Ward delivered an impressive performance against the Bengals, completing 26 of 40 passes for 304 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions. This marked his first 300-yard throwing game in his career, as well as his first two touchdown passes of the season. Additionally, his 65% completion percentage tied his previous season-high against the Eagles.
The Titans traded for Pro Bowl safety Jessie Bates III in exchange for a 2027 2nd-round pick and a 2028 5th-round pick. Ward will now face the challenge of building on his performance against a formidable opponent. The Jaguars rank second in points per game allowed (15.1) and fifth in rushing (89.3), but struggle against the pass, ranking 22nd in yards allowed (229/game) per game. The trade for Bates, a three-time Pro Bowl selection and consistent ballhawk, aims to address that weakness.
With the addition of Bates, Ward will have to navigate the challenge of facing the Jaguars twice in the coming weeks while continuing to improve his game.
