Although Cam Ward's team claimed the bragging rights with the win, the Titans rookie, who was selected with the No.1 pick in the 2025 NFL draft, was criticized for his performance.

NFL analyst Jason Whitlock threw shade at the Titans rookie for being outplayed by the Browns' fifth round pick on Sunday in Cleveland.

"Cam Ward is not an NFL QB," Whitlock wrote while highlighting Ward's inferior numbers to Sanders from their Week 14 clash.

Ward completed 14-of-28 passing for 117 passing yards, two passing touchdowns and an interception. He set up fellow rookie Elic Ayomanor for the team's first touchdown on the opening drive this season. However, Ward missed a few lay-ups in the narrow win.

The Titans rookie's numbers were overshadowed by Sanders, who threw for a franchise record 364 yards in his third start of the season. Although the former Colorado star ended up on the losing side, he seemingly won his personal battle against the Titans rookie.

“I treat the wins the same, I treat the losses the same,” Ward said. “There’s always something that I can do better. There’s a lot of plays that I missed out there, just not giving my receivers a chance. I”ll wake up tomorrow and I’ll do the same thing I did last week. Have to be better.”

One of the highlights of Ward's performance on Sunday was his ability to negate Browns defensive end Myles Garrett's pass rushing.
