What to know

The Titans got their first win of the season last week, rallying from an 18-point deficit to defeat the Arizona Cardinals, 22-21, with a game-winning field goal. Tennessee's defense generated three takeaways and three sacks. Additionally, the unit allowed zero points and just two Cardinals' first downs in the second half of the game.

This Sunday marks the second time in just three weeks that the Raiders will square off against a No. 1 overall draft pick, having battled Caleb Williams in Week 4 and now preparing for Cam Ward in Week 6. Notably, every quarterback the Silver and Black have faced this season was selected within the top six picks of their respective drafts. In his first NFL win, Ward threw for 265 yards against the Cardinals, connecting with Calvin Ridley for 131 of those. The rookie quarterback went 13-of-18 for 193 yards in the fourth quarter as he authored a 15-point comeback and his first career game-winning drive.
