Story summary

Cam Ward, the Titans' quarterback, addressed social media criticism directed at his family following the team's 0-3 start to the season. After losing to the New York Giants in a game where Ward was intercepted near the end, his sister Chantel posted on social media about threats and attacks against their family. Ward emphasized that playing well would resolve the issues, stating "every adverse situation I have, I’m going to take on." The criticism intensified after a 12-7 loss to the Giants when Ward's interception ended any chance of a win, dropping his record as a starter to 3-17 in the NFL. Ward and his family are enduring these attacks while supporting him through what he has always wanted: to play quarterback professionally.
