Titans fans toasting C.Ward's first game-winning drive while quietly noting the 22-21 escape won't replicate itself.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
C.Ward marched the offense 70 yards in the final minute, hitting C.Ridley for 38 to set up J.Slye's 29-yard chip shot as time expired — the kind of drive that retroactively justifies a season. The interception by D.Taylor-Demerson eight minutes earlier should have ended it, and the T.Pollard fumble in the second quarter nearly did. One win doesn't erase the dread, but for a fanbase that spent last week at 94 misery, a functional offense is enough to sit with.
