Cam Ward and Robert Saleh had a serious talk after the Tennessee Titans lost to the Houston Texans in Week 5, which kept them winless. It worked, as the Titans beat the Indianapolis Colts in Week 6 to end their losing skid.
Well, it looks like Ward and Saleh might need to have another chat.
The Titans bowed to the Cleveland Browns , 27-24, on Sunday, falling to 0-4 at Nissan Stadium. Ward went 20-of-31 for 181 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception.

While the second-year quarterback was subpar, Saleh stressed that their shortcomings against the Browns were "across the board," as reported by ESPN's Turron Davenport.
" Robert Saleh said there's blame to go around on offense. Saleh admitted Cam Ward should have made some throws he missed, but he doesn't think the offense has a quarterback problem," wrote Davenport.
The 24-year-old Ward, last year's No. 1 pick, could be in danger of losing his starting job in the coming weeks or being replaced next year if he fails to turn things around.
Saleh has been patient with the young signal-caller, but at some point, he might have to acknowledge that the Titans could be better off with a different leader.
The Titans struggled to limit the Browns' running attack, with Quinshon Judkins getting 17 carries for 96 yards and two touchdowns. Deshaun Watson, who threw 25-of-36 for 308 yards, scored on a nine-yard rush in the fourth quarter.
The defeat spoiled Tony Pollard's outstanding effort. He logged 25 carries for 129 yards and a career-high-tying three touchdowns.
Tennessee fell to 1-6, while Cleveland improved to 5-2.
