Titans Fans Call Out NFL For 'Disrespectful' 2026 Schedule

The NFL unveiled its 2026 schedule on Thursday night. Unfortunately for Tennessee Titans fans, they won't be able to watch their team on the big stage.

The Titans are one of five NFL teams that didn't receive a primetime game for the 2026 season, joining the Arizona Cardinals, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets and Las Vegas Raiders in this department.

Some fans assumed the Titans would get at least one primetime game since Cam Ward, the No. 1 pick from the 2025 NFL Draft, showed potential last season. He had 3,169 passing yards, 15 touchdowns and seven interceptions during his rookie year.

Even though Ward has star potential, the NFL didn't feel the need to give the Titans a single primetime game. That has fans feeling quite bad for the former Miami Hurricanes quarterback.

"Disrespectful to Cam Ward smh," one fan said.

"They can't even give him that traditional Titans vs Jags Thursday night game in October man," a second fan wrote.

"They been doing him dirty since draft night. Poor Cam," a third fan commented.

"Jaxson Dart has 7 primetime games in his career - 4 this year, 3 last year," another fan pointed out. "Cam Ward has 0 that's crazy."

Cam Ward has chance to silence critics this fall.

The Titans will begin their regular season on Sept. 13 against the New York Jets. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET.

Tennessee will then take on Jalen Hurts, Jaxson Dart, Lamar Jackson and C.J. Stroud in its next four games. If Ward outperforms some of those quarterbacks, that would certainly prove that he's capable of a Year 2 leap.

For now though, Ward is flying under the radar.
