TITANS ENTER DECEMBER STRETCH
The most recent road game the Titans played was Oct. 26 at Indianapolis. Last week, they played their fourth consecutive home game, excluding a bye in Week 10, and fell to the Jacksonville Jaguars by a final score of 25-3. Joey Slye provided Tennessee's only points with a 28-yard field goal.
This Sunday, rookie quarterback Cam Ward is scheduled to make his 13th consecutive start to begin the season. The No. 1 overall pick can match Vince Young's franchise record for starts in a season by a rookie quarterback (13 in 2006). Ward's season passing statistics include 2,351 yards, seven touchdowns and six interceptions.
The Titans defense totaled three sacks last week against Jacksonville, marking the fifth time in the past six games the team recorded at least three sacks. In that span (Week 7-13), the defense's 21 sacks tied for the fourth-best total in the NFL. Defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons leads the Titans with 6.5 sacks in 2025, including one last week against the Jaguars.
THE BROWNS
The Browns hosted the San Francisco 49ers last week. Rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders and rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. connected on a 34-yard touchdown pass for Cleveland in the second quarter, but the 49ers kept the Browns off the scoreboard in the second half to win 26-8.
Sanders, a fifth-round pick from the University of Colorado, has started each of the past two games for the Browns after veteran Joe Flacco (first four games) and fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel (six) combined to start the first 10 contests. Against the 49ers, Sanders passed for 149 yards and one touchdown without throwing an interception.
Browns defensive end Myles Garrett leads the NFL with 19 sacks. He has at least one sack in each of the past six games.
Head coach Kevin Stefanski is a two-time NFL Coach of the Year (2020 and 2023) with the Browns. He is in his sixth season on the Cleveland sideline after joining the club in 2020, and since taking the post, he has led the team to two postseason appearances and a pair of 11-win seasons.
