Titans QB Cam Ward's Tablet Temper Tantrums Revealed
15 Jul
Summary
- Titans QB Cam Ward smashed eight tablets in 14 games.
- The NFL warned teams about tablet destruction in 2022.
- Tablets are crucial for film review in the NFL.
In the 2025 NFL season, Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward developed a costly sideline habit. During a conversation revealed on the Netflix show "Quarterback," Ward admitted to breaking eight NFL-issued tablets from the season's start through Week 14. He described the act as a way to "get the rage out" without harming others.
This behavior is not entirely new in the league. In 2022, Tom Brady, then with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, also threw two tablets in a single game against the Saints. Following this incident, the NFL issued a warning and threatened fines to all 32 teams regarding the destruction of these devices.
These tablets are integral to modern NFL strategy, used for reviewing film and replays via the Sideline Viewing System app. The league has a significant partnership with Microsoft for these devices, a deal that has been renewed multiple times since its inception in 2013.
As the Titans prepare for their 2026 season opener on September 13 against the New York Jets, the hope is that Ward will channel his energy into leading the offense more effectively, spending less time and resources on replacing damaged equipment.
