The Tennessee Titans' pass rush has been lackluster throughout the majority of the 2025 campaign. It had been an expected outcome given the lack of talent on the roster at EDGE. The unit turned in their best performance in the improbable Week 5 victory over the Arizona Cardinals, getting constant pressure on Kyler Murray, who they sacked three times.
Veteran defensive end Jihad Ward was a big-time factor. Ward recorded a position-high four pressures on Murray, per Pro Football Focus. Only elite Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons (7) had more pressures.
In fact, Ward is tied for second on the Titans in pressures (9) this season, trailing only Simmons (24), who's performing at a Defensive Player of the Year level.
