The 2025 season was the Tennessee Titans' 56th in the National Football League (NFL), their 66th overall, their 29th in the state of Tennessee, their first under the leadership of a new general manager Mike Borgonzi, and their second and final under head coach Brian Callahan. The Titans held the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft, their first time holding it since 2016, which they used to draft Miami Hurricanes quarterback Cam Ward.[1] The team matched their 3–14 record from the 2024 season. Their primary starting quarterback the previous two years, Will Levis, went through shoulder surgery in the offseason.[2] The Titans started the season 1–11, the worst start for the franchise since they also started 1–11 in 1994 when they were known as the Houston Oilers. They were eliminated from playoff contention for the fourth consecutive season in Week 13 after losing to the arch rival Jacksonville Jaguars. This season began with the team's third general manager in four seasons. On October 13, Callahan was relieved of his duties with Mike McCoy being named interim head coach for the remainder of the season.[3] This is Mike McCoy's second head coaching job; he was previously the head coach of the San Diego Chargers from 2013 to 2016. The Titans placed last in the AFC South for the third consecutive season, and this was their fourth consecutive losing season. The Titans had a four-year aggregate record of 19–49 (.279) from 2022 to 2025, the worst four-year stretch in the team's history since they went 15-49 (.234) from 1983 to 1986, when they were the Houston Oilers.

This was Titans rookie quarterback Cam Ward's first game in the NFL. He could not do anything, as he threw no touchdowns, no interceptions, 112 yards, and completed just 42.9% of his passes to go with his 54.5 passer rating. With the loss, the Titans started their season 0–1. Because the Colts beat the Dolphins 33–8, the Titans now hold the NFL's longest active season opener losing streak, not having won a season opener since 2020. The Titans' 12 points were the fewest in a season opener since they scored 10 in a 13–10 overtime loss on the road to the Steelers in 2009.

The Titans overcame a 21–3 deficit, ultimately winning on a 29-yard field goal by kicker Joey Slye as time expired to upset the Cardinals 22–21, snapping a 10-game losing streak dating back to the previous season. A notable play occurred when Cardinals safety Dadrion Taylor-Demerson intercepted a pass from quarterback Cam Ward but immediately fumbled the ball. Titans receiver Tyler Lockett recovered it in the end zone, narrowing the Cardinals' lead to 21–19 with 4:51 remaining.[12]
With the upset victory, the Titans improved to 1–4, and Cam Ward earned his first NFL win. He finished the day with a season-high 265 passing yards, but he also threw no touchdowns, 1 interception, and completed just 53.8 percent of his passes to go with his 64.6 passer rating. It was also the Titans’ first win in Arizona since the 1997 season, when the franchise was known as the Tennessee Oilers.[13] The Titans' 73 points scored through their first 5 games were their fewest since they scored just 60 points in their first 5 games in 2006.
This would also turn out to be Brian Callahan's final NFL win as Titans head coach, as he was fired following Tennessee's loss the next week against the Las Vegas Raiders.

In addition, it was their first road loss to the Raiders since the 2004 season.[15]
Following the loss, the Titans fired head coach Brian Callahan the next day and appointed senior offensive assistant Mike McCoy as interim head coach. Callahan finished his tenure in Tennessee with a 4–19 record.[16] Cam Ward continued to struggle by throwing 222 yards, 1 touchdown, 1 interception, and completed 68.4 percent of his passes to go with his 81.3 passer rating.

The Titans once again couldn’t stop Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, as they allowed him to finish with 153 rushing yards on 12 carries and three touchdowns. Taylor became the first player in league history to score three touchdowns in three consecutive games against the same team.[18] Cam Ward continued his ineptitude by throwing 259 yards, 1 touchdown, 1 interception, and completed just 57.9 percent of his passes to go with his 76.5 passer rating.
The Titans fell to 1–7, their worst start since 1994, extending their losing streak in Indianapolis to 3 games, their losing streak to their fellow AFC South teams on the road to 4 games, their losing streak to the Colts to 6 games, and their losing streak to their fellow AFC South teams to 7 games. This is now the Titans' third consecutive season getting swept by the Colts.

Despite the Titans sacking Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert six times and scoring on both a pick-six and a punt return, they still fell short against the Chargers. This marked the Titans' first home loss to the Chargers since the 2009 season when the latter franchise was still based in San Diego. This loss dropped Tennessee to their first 1–8 start since 1994. Cam Ward ended his six-game streak with an interception.[19] The Titans extended their losing streak at home to 8 games, going back to last season, which is the longest active losing streak in the NFL. While Cam Ward's interception streak officially ended, his overall ineptitude did not, and he threw just 145 yards and completed just 57.1 percent of his passes to go with his 78.5 passer rating.

The defeat eliminated Tennessee from AFC South title contention, ensuring a fourth consecutive season without a division championship and guaranteeing a losing record for the fourth consecutive season. Quarterback Cam Ward struggled, finishing with 194 passing yards and one touchdown, completing 64.9 percent of his attempts for a passer rating of 87.0. With their 8th straight divisional loss (3rd against Houston), the Titans fell to 1–9 for the first time since 1994.

With the loss, the Titans fell to 1–11 for the first time since 1994, and extended their losing streak to the Jaguars at home to two games, their losing streak to the Jaguars regardless of location to three games, their losing streak to their fellow AFC South teams at home to six games, and their losing streak against them regardless of location to nine games. The loss also meant the Titans failed to qualify for playoff contention for the 4th straight year. It was the third time in 4 years the Titans were eliminated via a loss to Jacksonville. Cam Ward had a very poor game by throwing just 141 yards, no touchdowns, no interceptions, and completed just 63.2 percent of his passes to go with his 70.2 passer rating. [21]
During the game, a skirmish broke out when Titans safety Mike Brown threw a punch at Jaguars long snapper Ross Matiscik after Matiscik delivered a shot to Tennessee running back Julius Chestnut. Brown was ejected from the game, while Matiscik received a personal foul for unnecessary roughness but was not ejected.[22]
