NASHVILLE — Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward said Wednesday that performing better on the field will cut out all the negative criticism being thrown at his family via social media in the wake of an 0-3 start for his team.
“My family knows the position I’m in, and they know what I’ve wanted my whole life,” Ward said. “They’re in this position as well with me.”
Criticism grew louder after a 12-7 road loss to the New York Giants on Sunday when Ward was intercepted in the end zone, ending the Titans’ chance to eke out their first win of the season. The loss dropped Ward to 3-17 as a starter in the NFL.
After the game, his sister, Chantel, wrote on social media that seeking out a player’s family to “personally attack them” over a game “is something completely different” from being frustrated with a player or criticizing a play.
The No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 draft said people can say what they want, and he talks with his family when social media critics go too far.
