Nashville, TN – The Tennessee Titans suffered a disappointing defeat against the Los Angeles Rams, losing 33-19 on September 14, 2025. This loss drops the Titans to an 0-2 record to start the season, raising concerns as the team continues to search for its first win.
Head coach Brian Callahan expressed his frustration regarding the team’s current standing, finding it particularly disheartening to begin the season without a victory. Nevertheless, he remains hopeful about the ability of his players to rebound and secure wins in future games.
This game marked the NFL home debut for rookie quarterback Cam Ward, who was selected first overall in the 2025 NFL Draft. Despite the outcome, Ward showcased his potential by completing 19 of 33 passes for 175 yards, including his first career touchdown pass. He connected with fellow rookie receiver Elic Ayomanor for a nine-yard touchdown, a highlight that exemplified Ward’s talent as he completed the throw while moving across his body. However, Ward faced significant pressure, enduring five sacks and losing a fumble during the game.
In the first half, the Titans managed to take a 13-10 lead into halftime. Cam Ward’s touchdown gave the Titans a brief edge in the third quarter at 16-13. However, the Rams responded with a relentless second-half performance, scoring 20 unanswered points to secure the victory.
The Titans had opportunities to enhance their position, including a significant 57-yard punt return for a touchdown by Chimere Dike that was nullified due to a penalty. The Titans also struggled with discipline, committing 10 penalties for a total of 62 yards, further complicating their quest for a comeback.
On the other side of the field, Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford carved up the Titans’ defense, accumulating 298 passing yards and throwing two touchdown passes. The Rams’ offense was bolstered by wide receiver Davante Adams, who caught six passes for 106 yards and scored a touchdown, demonstrating the effectiveness of the Rams’ attack.
The Titans’ thwarted defense allowed the Rams to compile a staggering 439 total offensive yards and four touchdowns throughout the game. However, the Titans did manage to secure one interception, with linebacker Cody Barton making a critical play during the match.
Running back Tony Pollard was a bright spot for the Titans, rushing for 92 yards on 20 carries, while kicker Joey Slye accurately converted all four of his field goal attempts. Despite the positives from these individual performances, the overall team effort fell short against a proficient Rams squad.
The Titans will aim to secure their first victory of the season as they prepare to face the Indianapolis Colts on September 21, 2025. Defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons emphasized the importance of coming into that game ready to work, highlighting the need for the team to improve after the challenging loss to the Rams.
The matchup at Nissan Stadium drew an announced attendance of 59,069 fans, who witnessed both the highs and lows of the Titans’ early season struggles. With the next game approaching, fans will be looking for signs of improvement as the Titans strive to turn their fortunes around.
