Tony Pollard Shines Bright Despite Titans’ Tough Loss
The Tennessee Titans may have fallen short against the Los Angeles Chargers with a 27-20 defeat, but one name that stood out throughout the game was Tony Pollard. Even though the final score didn’t favor Tennessee, Pollard’s individual effort was one of the few bright spots in what was otherwise a challenging outing for the team.
Pollard, who joined the Titans with high expectations, reminded everyone why he’s such a valuable asset. He carried the ball 10 times, rushing for 56 yards, and added another 12 yards through the air from one reception on two targets. While the stats might not scream dominance, they showed a player who made every touch count and was consistently able to move the chains when called upon.

From the opening drive, Pollard’s energy was noticeable. He broke off some impressive runs — including bursts of 16 and 12 yards — that gave the Titans’ offense an early spark. It was the kind of explosive playmaking that fans had been waiting to see more often this season. His performance also came as a reassuring sign after a stretch of quieter games where his efficiency had dipped.
When compared to his backfield partner Tyjae Spears, Pollard had slightly more carries — 10 to Spears’ 7 — showing that the Titans still trust him as a central figure in their ground game. However, both players shared a nearly even split in touches, which continues to create some uncertainty around how the Titans will divide the workload moving forward.
Still, one concern lingers for Pollard: the end zone drought. He hasn’t scored since Week 5, and that’s becoming a talking point among fans and fantasy football managers alike. It’s not that he’s playing poorly — far from it — but touchdowns are what truly define a running back’s impact, both for his team and for fantasy players banking on his production.
Speaking of fantasy, Pollard’s situation remains intriguing. With the Titans listening to potential trade offers ahead of the deadline, there’s a chance he could end up in a new system where his role might expand. Until then, managers might need to approach him with cautious optimism — he’s productive, but the shared backfield limits his upside week to week.
Despite the loss, Sunday’s game served as a reminder that Tony Pollard’s talent hasn’t gone anywhere. He ran with determination, showed vision, and proved that he can still be a difference-maker when given opportunities. As the Titans head into their bye week, all eyes will be on how the coaching staff plans to keep Pollard involved — and whether his next breakout performance is just around the corner.
