The Titans were in a tailspin last year, going 3-14 with bottom-six finishes in both points scored and points allowed. They ended the season on a six-game losing streak.

Fans clamored for Cam Ward’s autograph as he worked his way along the wall at Nissan Stadium. The rookie quarterback put on a show Saturday even with no pads and no tackling allowed.
