The Tennessee Titans host the Los Angeles Rams in Week 2, and their task to avoid an 0-2 start is to take down a playoff-caliber opponent in their home opener. Here are three predictions based on team statements and game strategy for what we’ll see on Sunday:

Titans QB Cam Ward refuses to trash his teammates for drops, despite some truly awful ones during Week 1's loss to the Broncos.

A quarterback making his NFL debut means a team has to expect rookie mistakes. The Tennessee Titans just didn’t help Cam Ward nearly enough.

The Tennessee Titans' offense was a massive disappointment in QB Cam Ward's debut, losing 20-12 to the Denver Broncos in NFL Week 1.

Denver won 20-12, as the Titans did not reach the endzone at all. Despite that, ESPN's Dan Orlovsky was impressed with Cam Ward.

Second-year starting tackle JC Latham hurt his hip on the first day of joint practices against Atlanta in mid-August. He ended up missing multiple training camp practices because of it, but got himself to a place where he felt good going into Week 1.

Calvin Ridley took responsibility for a rough day in Tennessee's opening loss. Rookie quarterback Cam Ward isn’t pointing fingers after dropped passes, saying he knows he’ll be intercepted during this season.

For their part, the Titans lost to the Broncos 20-12. Tennessee led 12-10 midway through the third quarter but could not hold off the Broncos down the stretch. The Titans held Denver to just 317 total yards, but they could only muster 133 yards of offense themselves.
