LAS VEGAS – The Titans better hope what happened in Vegas stays in Vegas.

In the Sin City, the Titans committed plenty of sins to get them beat in a 20-10 loss to the Raiders.

The loss halted the positive feelings coming from last week's win at Arizona, and it dropped the team to 1-5.

Quarterback Cam Ward threw a touchdown pass late, but the Titans sputtered on offense for most of the day and turned the ball over three times.

While the defense battled, and did its part to keep the game close, this wasn't a day for complementary football, as the Titans couldn't muster up much offense on a day when Ward was sacked five times, and was responsible for all three of the team's turnovers.

Ward finished the day 26-of-38 passes for 222 yards and an interception. Ward also lost two fumbles on the day.

The Titans were forced to play catch-up football from the get-go, and they couldn't do it.

The Raiders took a 3-0 lead in the first quarter on a 50-yard field goal from kicker Daniel Carlson on their opening possession.

While the Titans defense created havoc early, providing consistent pressure on Raiders quarterback Geno Smith, the offense struggled to get anything going.

Then, late in the second quarter, disaster struck.

That's when Raiders linebacker Devin White sacked Ward deep in Tennessee territory, forcing a fumble in the process. The Raiders recorded it at the Titans two-yard line, and cashed it in a short touchdown pass from Smith to tight end Michael Mayer to make it 10-0.

The Titans appeared to be headed for points at the end of the first half, but Ward was hit as he threw the ball, and it was intercepted.

The Titans trailed 10-0 at halftime.

The Raiders then stretched the lead to 17-0 midway through the third quarter on a three-yard touchdown run by Ashton Jeanty.

The Titans finally got on the scoreboard with 1:08 left in the third quarter on a 46-yard field goal by kicker Matthew Wright, which capped an eight-play, 51-yard drive.

But the Titans couldn't make it much of a game after that, as the Raiders extended their lead to 20-3 on another Carlson field goal with 7:14 left to make it 20-3.

A one-yard touchdown pass from Ward to tight end David Martin-Robinson made it 20-10 with 3:03 left, but it was too little, too late.

The Titans return to action next week against the New England Patriots at Nissan Stadium.
