Cam Ward's Family Had Such a Wholesome Reaction to QB's Wild First Touchdown

Titans rookie quarterback Cam Ward's first NFL touchdown came in epic fashion against the Rams on Sunday afternoon, with Los Angeles's Matthew Stafford calling it a "Patrick Mahomes-ish" play

With under a minute to go in the first half and facing third-and-goal, Ward dropped back and drifted left before pressure forced him to sprint right and heave the ball into the end zone—where only fellow rookie Elic Ayomanor could get it. The score tied the game at 10 heading into the second half.

Ward's family, in attendance at Nashville's Nissan Stadium for the 23-year-old's home debut, was caught on camera as they reacted to his first professional touchdown pass. Take a look at their wholesome reaction here:

What a moment for the Ward family. 

Through two games, Ward has completed just over 50% of his passes for 287 total yards as the Titans sit at 0-2 to start the 2025 campaign. They’ll look to get in the win column this coming Sunday as they host the division rival—and undefeated—Colts for a 1 p.m. ET kickoff.
