Titans rookie quarterback Cam Ward responded from a three-and-out with a touchdown drive in his first NFL preseason game in a loss to Tampa Bay.

The Tennessee Titans fell, 29-7, in their preseason opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium, spoiling Cam Ward's NFL debut.

Ward started slow, going 0-for-2 on his first drive of the night, but he settled in nicely during his second drive. Ward completed five passes on the Titans' first touchdown drive of the night, finding Calvin Ridley three times to move the offense down the field.
