Titans coach throws Cam Ward under the bus after loss to Raiders

Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan did not spare Cam Ward from criticism on Sunday after their team’s loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.

Both teams entered the Week 6 contest with identical 1-4 records. But the Raiders outperformed the Titans in the 20-10 affair at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nev.

During his postgame press conference, Callahan admitted he was “incredibly discouraged” by how the game unraveled. He then singled out Ward for not playing up to expectations.

“We’ve all got to be better. Cam’s a part of that too,” Callahan said. “Cam’s got to play better football as well. We’ve got to coach better, we’ve got to play better — all those things. It’s not all just him, but he is a part of it. We’d like to be able to start seeing some more good football being played.”

Tennessee went scoreless at halftime, with Ward committing two costly turnovers in the second quarter. With the Titans trailing 3-0 midway through the period, the rookie QB coughed up a fumble a couple of yards away from his team’s end zone. The Raiders scored a touchdown three plays later.
