Nothing has broken right in Tennessee this fall, and its second-year quarterback is now one game from a list nobody wants to join. Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward has dropped all seven of his AFC South games, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The Indianapolis Colts get the next shot at him on Oct. 18.
Schefter laid out the stakes in a post on X. If the Titans lose today, Ward would become the fifth QB to lose his first eight games against divisional opponents, joining Troy Aikman (11 straight losses to division opponents), David Klingler (9), Colt McCoy (8) and Chris Weinke (8).” ESPN Research measured the streak against the entire post-merger era. Adding Brian Daboll as offensive coordinator hasn’t fixed much.
Tennessee ranks last in the NFL in scoring at 11.6 points a game and in total offense at 261.8 yards, and it’s topped one touchdown in a game just once. Ward’s history against Indianapolis is rough, too. Across two earlier meetings, he threw for 478 yards with two touchdowns, two interceptions, and a 75.4 passer rating while the Colts piled up a 79-34 scoring edge.
At 2-3, the Colts carry their own defensive problems. Lou Anarumo’s group gave up 352 yards in Week 5, and Sumer Sports ranks it 27th in per play at 0.05 and last against the run. A defense sitting 27th couldn’t ask for a much softer draw than the league’s lowest-scoring offense.
Ward’s eighth crack at a division win comes in Indianapolis, with Tennessee still chasing its first victory of 2026.
