nashville – Cam Ward is making progress.
And the Titans rookie quarterback is crediting everyone around him for helping him improve.
“I think it’s everybody,” Ward said. “Starts with Mike (McCoy), but especially, Nick (Holtz) and Bo (Hardgree) create good game plans week-to-week. Now it’s just on me and the other players to execute the game plan.
“So I think the success we’re starting to see from everybody offensively is a mix of everybody, the players, the coaching staff, everybody is doing their job.”
Ward threw for 256 yards and a touchdown on a career-high 42 attempts last week against the Seahawks, when he also scored his first rushing touchdown.
With 2,210 passing yards this season, Ward has passed Vince Young for second place on the franchise rookie passing leaderboard. He now trails only Marcus Mariota, who threw for 2,818 yards in 2015.
Ward is the third rookie in franchise history to start more than 10 games.
An encouraging sign for Ward and the Titans: The QB hasn’t thrown an interception in his last three games after throwing an interception in each of the last six games.
Ward looks to keep the positive momentum going into this Sunday’s game against the Jaguars.
“I think we use it as motivation to win football games,” he said. “The stats will never mean anything. The only stats that will matter is winning or losing, and we just have to do that week in and week out. So that’s the only thing we’re trying to get better at.”
