2025 NFL Regular Season — Week 14 | December 7, 2025 | Huntington Bank Field, Cleveland, Ohio
Tony Pollard ran for a career-high 161 yards and scored twice on 25 carries as the Tennessee Titans beat the Cleveland Browns 31-29 on December 7, 2025. Three plays off Tennessee’s defense and special teams — Xavier Woods’ third-quarter interception, Cedric Gray’s fumble recovery, and James Williams Sr.’s blocked punt — produced 17 points in a game the Titans won despite being outgained 412 yards to 292. Shedeur Sanders threw for 364 yards and three touchdowns in his third NFL start, but Cleveland failed on both two-point conversion attempts in the final four minutes.

In his third NFL start, Sanders became the first Browns rookie quarterback with a 300-yard game since Baker Mayfield. The NFL noted he joined Joe Burrow as the only rookie quarterbacks in league history with at least 350 passing yards, three touchdown passes, and a rushing touchdown in a single game. His third-quarter interception, returned 35 yards by Xavier Woods to the Cleveland 38, set up Pollard’s go-ahead 32-yard touchdown run two plays later.

Pollard’s 65-yard touchdown run in the first quarter was also a career-long rush. His second score came on a 32-yard carry off left tackle in the third quarter, two plays after Woods’ interception. The 161 rushing yards on 25 carries stood as the highest single-game total of his career through the end of the 2025 season, in which he finished with 1,082 yards on 242 attempts.

Fannin’s 8-catch, 114-yard afternoon was the most productive outing of his rookie season. Jeudy’s 60-yard touchdown — Sanders’ longest completion of the game — gave Cleveland its only lead at 17-14 with 2:47 left in the second quarter.

Garrett’s second-quarter sack of Ward was his 20th of the 2025 season, making him the 14th player in NFL history to reach that mark in a single season. He entered the final four games needing three more to break the single-season record of 22.5 sacks, shared by Michael Strahan and T.J. Watt.

Cleveland outgained Tennessee 412 yards to 292, went 3-for-3 in the red zone, and held possession for 28 of 60 minutes — and still lost by two. Two turnovers that produced 17 Titans points, a blocked punt, and back-to-back failed two-point conversions in the final four minutes decided a game where the Browns’ offensive numbers never reflected the final score. The Titans snapped a seven-game losing streak to move to 2-11; Cleveland fell to 3-10.
