The Tennessee Titans are still looking for their first win of the 2025 NFL season. They were shut down by the Houston Texans in Week 4, which didn’t sit well with many people, including rookie quarterback Cam Ward.

The former Florida star didn’t mince words when assessing his team’s current moment, going off on every unit and saying everybody needs to do a better job. 

“If we keeping a buck right now, we (expletive),” Ward said. “We 0-4. At this point, we got nothing to lose. We dropped a quarter of our f—ing games and we’ve yet to do anything. So we have to lock in. Especially myself. From the offensive line, from the defensive line, from the special teams, to all three phases we have to play together. We have not played together this year yet.”

I also know how the NFL works,” Callahan said. “I think we’re running the ball well. I think there have been some really good things defensively. I hate to say anything has been good enough to this point. We’re 0-4. We’ve got to do more of it, and more of it more often.”
