Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward reacts to criticism over postgame press conference

Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward shared his thoughts before an Oct. 7 practice about media criticism over the way he handled his Week 4 press conference.

On Oct. 4 following a 24-18 loss at the Baltimore Ravens, visiting Titans media had not yet arrived when Ward walked into his press conference. Ward appeared to be joking when he said he would walk out after waiting three minutes for reporters, and the remark was captured on the Titans livestream.

Reporters at the time were still finishing interviews in the locker room, including a media scrum with All-Pro defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons. Media members showed up shortly after and Ward conducted his press conference.

The clip of Ward made rounds on social media and in some national media circles.

“I mean they’re talking about that … That’s something for them to talk about,” Ward said. “It’s easy for them to talk about. We’d rather them talk about that than our performances. So we’re just trying to put a good product on the field.”
