Titans outlast Cleveland for second win 31-29

Tony Pollard rushed for a career-high 161 yards and two touchdowns, Cam Ward passed for two scores and the Tennessee Titans held off the Cleveland Browns 31-29 on Sunday to snap a seven-game skid.

Cleveland’s Shedeur Sanders passed for 364 yards and three touchdowns in his third start, and he also ran for a score in a matchup of rookie quarterbacks. However, Sanders threw a costly interception in the third quarter that led to Tennessee’s go-ahead TD.

Sanders’ father, Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, was in attendance. Coach Prime was at his son’s first NFL start on Nov. 23 at Las Vegas, but missed last week’s home game against San Francisco.

Ward, the top overall pick in April’s NFL draft, completed 14 of 28 passes for 117 yards and had his first game with at least two touchdowns. The victory was interim coach Mike McCoy’s first in seven games since he replaced the fired Brian Callahan.

Sanders completed 23 of 42 passes and was the Browns’ first rookie quarterback since Baker Mayfield to have a 300-yard game. Fellow rookie Fannin finished with eight receptions for 114 yards and a touchdown.

The Titans scored a touchdown on their opening drive for the first time this season when Ward hit Ayomanor on a crossing route for a 14-yard score. Tennessee came into the game as the only team without a TD on an opening drive.

The Titans (2-11) travel to San Francisco to meet the 49ers next Sunday.
