From the episode
Cam Ward kept up with Joe Burrow. That's the headline. Second half, 11 of 15, 132. Two touchdowns, 139.4 passer rating, 8.8 yards per attempt. He was brilliant in the second half. In particular, if you're looking at man coverage and mid-range, like he was an assassin in mid-range in this game, and when the Bengals played man coverage, he was just sensational. 11 of 17 for a buck 58, two of those touchdowns, one of those on a slot fade in the red zone that was just perfectly thrown, 133.9 passer rating against man, and a whopping 9.3 yards per attempt.
STACKED’s take
Ward's second-half brilliance (139.4 rating, 9.3 YPA vs. man) marks his best career game.
Despite the Titans' overtime loss, Kingsley Suamataia identified Cam Ward's performance as potentially the best game of his career and the most encouraging of his young career. In the second half, Ward went 11 of 15 for 132 yards with two touchdowns and a 139.4 passer rating (8.8 yards per attempt). Against man coverage specifically, Ward was exceptional: 11 of 17 for 158 yards, two touchdowns including a perfectly thrown slot fade in the red zone, 133.9 passer rating, and 9.3 yards per attempt. Suamataia attributed the breakthrough to Ward finally playing with decisiveness and arm strength after feeling pressure early in the season; once the Titans entered 'fire sale mode' following the Jeff Simmons trade, Ward played like his Miami version—letting it rip without fear of mistakes.
