"The Week 12 loss marked one of Ward's best games. He completed 66.7% of his passes for 256 yards and a touchdown, and he ran the ball six times for a career-high 37 yards and a touchdown -- his first rushing score. There was a confidence that showed in how he took command of the game, especially on some long drives that spanned over 15 plays on two occasions. Most importantly, Ward didn't turn the ball over."
"Ward has never been mistaken for a true dual-threat quarterback like Lamar Jackson or Michael Vick. Still, he has always been able to impact the game by extending plays with his legs to give receivers more time to get open or by making a timely scramble -- like his 14-yard run that picked up a first down on the second play of the game against the Seahawks."
Rookie quarterback Cam Ward showed significant development in Week 12 despite a 30-24 loss to the Seattle Seahawks that dropped the Titans to 1-10. He completed 66.7% of his passes for 256 yards and a touchdown, and he added a career-high 37 rushing yards and his first rushing touchdown on six carries. Ward led multiple long drives exceeding 15 plays and displayed greater confidence and command while avoiding turnovers. Titans interim coach Mike McCoy noted Ward's improved ability to make plays with his feet. Ward remains more of a passer who can extend plays rather than a true dual-threat.
