The Denver Broncos issued a “challenge” to the traveling Titans in a Week 1 slopfest and won a hard-fought battle, 20-12. Tennessee couldn’t convert four golden opportunities that the bucking Broncos gave them into points. The Titans mustered only six points from those four turnovers, and the game was sealed from then on. Denver possesses a ferocious defense<\/a>, but rookie Cam Ward<\/a> showed little nerves. Although the result wasn’t ideal for the denizens of Nashville, Ward showed some flashes of hope. Now, can the rest of the team catch up and develop into a winning franchise?<\/p>\n

First Quarter – Bo Knows, Surely Not<\/h3>\n

The first quarter turned into a largely draconian affair with both sides exchanging field goals to begin the game. Ward managed a nifty completion to running back Tony Pollard on the Titans’ first drive to get them into field goal range.<\/p>\n

Cam Ward keeps it alive and finds Tony Pollard for the big gain!<\/p>\n
