Titans fans are banking C.Ward's 300 yards as progress while blaming a defense that let CIN hang 43.

The emotional rollercoaster

What happened

C.Ward's 15-yard touchdown to W.Robinson with 3:50 left looked like the moment, until J.Burrow hit T.Higgins for an 18-yard score at 1:20 to force overtime. There, a short incompletion to E.Ayomanor helped seal a 43-36 loss in Cincinnati. Thirty-six points and a 300-yard day from Ward give the fanbase something real to hold onto. The lingering question is how many of these the defense can give back before the progress stops counting.
