Season Trajectory
Ward's 304-yard performance is his first career game above 300 passing yards, showing growth as the Titans work through their season. The loss, however, keeps Tennessee's standing under pressure heading into its Week 9 bye.
Ward's 304 passing yards makes him a fantasy QB2 option heading into the Titans' Week 9 bye. Fantasy managers should weigh his volume against the two touchdowns and costly fumble when setting rosters.
The takeaway
Ward's breakout yardage shows the Titans' passing game can produce, but turnovers and fourth-down execution decided this game. Local fans in Nashville should watch whether those late-game details improve before the bye.
