The Titans showed real offensive progress in San Francisco, but the defense made winning impossible.

Cam Ward threw two touchdown passes for the second straight game and posted his first triple-digit passer rating as the Titans scored 24 points against a strong 49ers defense. The running game and offensive line showed improvement.
