The Tennessee Titans, who started the season 0-4 with rookie No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward, are winless no more. After Ward called out the entire team, including himself, last week, the Titans were looking like they were on their way to a 0-5 start until something clicked in Ward, and he led a monster comeback for his first-ever NFL win.
Going into the fourth quarter, the Arizona Cardinals were up 21-6 on the Titans, and it looked like another loss where reporters would be asking what had to change. Well, Ward made the changes before the questions could even be asked by throwing for 193 yards, an interception that turned into a touchdown for the Titans, and a game-winning drive.

Yes, it was read correctly, an interception that turned into a touchdown for the Titans. In the fourth quarter, so much happened, and this was after a 72-yard touchdown run was called back after Cardinals running back Emari Demercado dropped the ball before crossing the goal line, and the ball went out the back of the end zone.
In the fourth quarter, the Titans were driving and in the red zone. Ward threw a pass under pressure that was tipped and intercepted by Arizona's Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, who then fumbled the ball, and it was kicked into Tennessee's end zone, where wide receiver Tyler Lockett jumped on it for a Titans touchdown.
That touchdown made the game 21-19, still in favor of the Cardinals, and it was now going into the hands of the Titans' defense. The defense did its job and forced a punt, so now it all came down to Ward.
Ward led an amazing game-winning drive, with the biggest play coming on a perfectly thrown ball to Calvin Ridley for 38 yards to put them in Tennessee territory with 32 seconds left in the game. Running back Tony Pollard then hit an 11-yard run to make the field goal that much easier, and a few kneel-downs by Ward ran out the clock and set up a 29-yard field goal try for kicker Joey Slye.
Slye was able to put it through the uprights as time expired, and the Titans now officially have a win this season, breaking a 10-game losing streak that dated back to last season. Former Miami quarterback Ward no longer had to answer the 'what needs to change' questions and was able to answer the 'how does this win feel' questions.
