Cam Ward on Pace for NFL Record in Sack Yardage Lost, Coach Addresses Issues

Titans rookie quarterback Cam Ward has taken 38 sacks for 295 yards in nine games this season, putting him on pace for 72 sacks and 557 yards lost, which would set an NFL record for yardage. He averages 7.8 yards lost per sack and is sacked over four times per game, contributing to the team's last-place ranking in third-down conversions and points scored. Interim coach Mike McCoy discussed the issue, noting it's a combination of factors including the number of sacks, opportunities to throw the ball away, and experience. McCoy met with Ward to review his mechanics, throwing motion, and situational awareness.
