Tennessee Titans vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers Match Player Stats (Aug 9, 2025)

April 15, 2026

Cam Ward arrived at Raymond James Stadium six and a half hours before kickoff on August 9, 2025 — enough time for the first overall pick in that year’s NFL Draft to prepare, settle, and make his professional debut in a 29–7 Tennessee Titans loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He finished 5-of-8 for 67 yards and an 89.1 passer rating across two series, the second of which produced Tennessee’s only points: an 11-play, 65-yard drive capped by Tony Pollard’s 1-yard run. Tampa Bay ran for 178 yards on 41 carries, controlled possession for nearly 35 minutes, and intercepted all three Titans quarterbacks who followed Ward onto the field.

Ward finished as the only Tennessee quarterback on the night who was never sacked or intercepted, posting an 89.1 passer rating on eight drop-backs. Brandon Allen and Tim Boyle, handling the remaining possessions, combined for three interceptions and absorbed two sacks — Boyle’s second pick returned 39 yards for a touchdown by Tampa Bay’s Roman Parodie, which set the final margin. After the whistle, the Titans boarded buses for Tampa International Airport and a flight to Atlanta, where joint practices against the Falcons were scheduled to begin the following Tuesday ahead of a second preseason game on August 15.
