Titans news: You probably can’t watch the game on Sunday

There have been times in the past when a Tennessee Titans game didn’t get broadcast to the entire state. I remember there being a lot of discussion about games not being on in the Memphis area at times when the Titans weren’t very good. This week, it looks like they have hit a new low with the game only being broadcast in middle Tennessee:

This is a really bad look for the Titans organization because the networks think they will get better ratings showing other games in East and West Tennessee. The networks are probably right. At this point, they might even get better ratings on a different game, even in middle Tennessee, but I think they are contractually obligated to broadcast the game there.

• Cam Ward took some time to self-scout during the bye. Ward hasn’t played as well as we would have liked early on, but there is no doubt he is going to put in the work to get better. Ward from Wyatt’s article:

“Just took time, just getting back to the basics of football, getting my body healthy,” Ward said on Wednesday. “And then just resetting my mind to go play another season.

• On that front, Paul Kuharsky says that it will take the offseason for Ward to fix some of the mechanical issues he has when he throws the ball. There is no doubt that Brian Callahan spent a lot of time with Ward during the offseason working on his mechanics. Hopefully, the next offensive staff will help him take the next steps in that process.
• The Titans have a 36.6% chance of landing the first pick and an 87.3% chance of landing a top-5 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft according to ESPN. The Titans have played the toughest schedule in the NFL to this point. Things get easier after the bye. How many more games will the Titans win this season?
