Both teams arrived with forgettable records\u2014Titans at 1-11, Browns 3-9\u2014yet both produced offensive fireworks in frigid and cloudy Cleveland conditions, witnessed by a crowd of 62,982.\n<\/p>\n

\nAfter surging to a first-quarter lead, the Titans withstood waves of Browns pressure in the frenetic second half. Rookie quarterback Cam Ward efficiently operated Tennessee\u2019s passing game with two touchdown tosses, offsetting two turnovers. Conversely, Shedeur Sanders led Cleveland\u2019s late charge, throwing for over 380 yards, but was undone by a pair of interceptions and costly red zone failures. Tennessee\u2019s defence did just enough, buoyed by timely sacks and Pollard\u2019s ability to turn small creases into explosive plays. The defeat drops Cleveland to 3-10, while Tennessee improve to 2-11.\n<\/p>\n
