Music City Miracles
It’s almost over. The Tennessee Titans dropped to 2-12 on the season today after losing in San Francisco 37-24. The Titans’ defense had no answers for the 49ers’ offense today. To be fair, they lost three safeties in the first half. It’s going to be tough to stop any offense when that happens.
There was at least one fun thing that happened in this game. Cam Ward scrambled to keep a play alive and found Jeffery Simmons in the back of the end zone for a touchdown. That came after a 43-yard Ward pass to Van Jefferson.
The only thing to even care about with this team on the field anymore is Ward. He missed another potential big play down the field today to Jefferson. He’s missed too many of those throws this year. There were also at least two passes he threw that could have been intercepted. It’s tough to evaluate him playing with such a bad supporting cast, but it is safe to say there is a lot of stuff he needs to work on this offseason.
Gunnar Helm set the franchise record for receptions as a rookie and had a really nice touchdown catch. He also inexplicably lined up offside twice on the same drive. Then, he left the game with a toe injury (he did return at least). It’s been that kind of year for the Titans.
The Titans had a chance to get the ball back down by two touchdowns with good field position in the fourth quarter after the 49ers missed a field goal, but Simmons hit the long snapper again. The penalty gave San Francisco a first down. They would end up getting a field goal.
The Titans also didn’t get much help in regards to the 2026 NFL Draft order today. The Saints won to get to four wins, but that was it. The Titans still currently hold the third pick in next year’s draft.
