Titans Score First First-Quarter Touchdown of Season Against Patriots

NASHVILLE, Tennessee – The Tennessee Titans celebrated a significant milestone on October 19. For the first time this season, they scored a touchdown in the first quarter. Quarterback Cam Ward connected with receiver Chimere Dike for a 38-yard touchdown pass with just 5:04 left in the quarter.

The Titans were eager to change their trend of trailing early in games. On this night, they took a 10-3 lead against the New England Patriots. Ward and the Titans’ offense impressed by scoring on their first two drives, which included a 49-yard field goal by Joey Slye on the opening possession.

Despite a coaching change, with interim head coach McCoy taking over, QB coach Bo Hardegree continued to call plays. Many observers noted that the Titans offense felt different and more energized in the first quarter under McCoy’s leadership.

This shift in performance may signal a positive change for the Titans as they seek to build momentum for the rest of the season.
