  "account": "On August 13, the Tennessee Titans defeated the San Francisco 49ers 19-13 in a preseason game at Levi's Stadium. Starting quarterback Cam Ward and his teammates played 21 offensive snaps and 24 defensive snaps, with six series ending in a 7-7 tie. The 49ers did not feature their starting offense. After an impressive 11-play, 95-yard touchdown drive, the Titans' defense struggled, particularly their cornerbacks Alontae Taylor and Cor Dale Flott, who had trouble containing the 49ers' receivers. The Titans' season progressed positively with their offensive concepts and the promising performance of rookie Fernando Carmona Jr. at right guard. However, concerns remained regarding the secondary and quarterback Cam Ward's playmaking ability.",
