It will be a battle of old vs. new Sunday in Nashville when the Los Angeles Rams (1-0) take the field against the Tennessee Titans (0-1). This game presents a fascinating contrast between two quarterbacks at opposite ends of their careers.
The veteran Rams quarterback, Matthew Stafford, has thrown for over 60,000 yards in his storied career. The Titans’ rookie, Cam Ward, has just 112 yards. This vast gap in experience will be a central storyline as the two teams clash in this early-season matchup.

Key Details
Los Angeles Rams
The Rams are coming off a 14-9 victory over the Houston Texans in Week 1. The key difference was their efficiency in the red zone, where they converted on two of their three opportunities.Â
Stafford led a balanced attack, completing over 72% of his passes for 245 yards and a touchdown. The ground game was also effective, with Kyren Williams rushing for 66 yards on 18 carries.
Tennessee Titans
The Titans began their season with a 20-12 road loss to the Denver Broncos. Tennessee held a 12-10 lead midway through the third quarter but couldn’t maintain the advantage.
Tennessee’s offense managed only 133 total yards against a tough Denver defense. Rookie quarterback Ward faced constant pressure, getting sacked six times. Running back Tony Pollard was a bright spot, contributing 60 yards on the ground and another 29 through the air, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the offensive inconsistencies.
Prediction
The Rams are more experienced at Quarterback and Coaching. This is enough to win and cover the spread.
