Tennessee Titans Fall Short In, Baltimore 24-18

Baltimore – The Tennessee Titans were able to offensively unlock their 2026 first-round pick Carnell Tate against the Baltimore Ravens, but still fell short of completing a comeback. They drop to 0-4 after losing 24-18.

 

Overview

Tennessee’s day looked like it might be a disaster after a Cam Ward interception off a Tony Pollard drop. That turnover would lead to a 7-0 lead by the Ravens.

The Titans would bounce back with a 10-play, 70-yard drive to tie the game at 7-7 on a three-yard touchdown run by Pollard .

Ward had his best game of the season, totaling 222 yards on 20-of-37 passing (64.5%), with a touchdown and an interception. Carnell Tate had his best day as a pro as well, totaling nine receptions for 145 yards.

The second quarter would be all Baltimore, as the Ravens scored 17 unanswered points behind big plays from Lamar Jackson and Zay Flowers.

Jackson’s day ended prematurely after sustaining an ankle injury before halftime. He threw for 222 yards on 15-of-20 attempts (75%) and two touchdowns.

Flowers led the team with eight receptions for 118 yards and a touchdown.

Defensively, Tennessee shut out the Ravens’ offense in the second half. Despite that, the Titans could only muster seven points in garbage time and a two-point conversion.

• 1 & 14: Ward and Tate had their best day as a duo this season against a good defense.
