Cam Ward guided Tennessee with steady accuracy and leadership, amid offensive struggles, offering optimism for Week 2. Los Angeles’ O-line is thin with Avila, Dotson, and Havenstein dealing with injuries, creating potential inside pressure on Stafford. Tennessee’s defense already forced four turnovers, highlighted by McCreary, and special teams were sharp on muffed plays. This sets up a hopeful, gritty home-opener narrative for the Titans.
