Allen Replaces Injured Ward, Struggles in First 2025 Appearance

Tennessee Titans QB Brandon Allen made his first appearance of the 2025 season in Week 18, taking over after starter Cam Ward suffered a right shoulder injury. Allen completed 17 of 30 passes for a dismal 72 yards (2.4 YPA), no touchdowns, and one interception, which was returned for a touchdown by Jacksonville's Antonio Johnson, extending the Jaguars' lead in the 41-7 loss. Allen is set to hit free agency this offseason and will likely compete for a backup job in 2026.
