Three days after Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Cam Ward threw his first NFL touchdown pass — on an unreal, third-and-goal scramble play that lasted 8.16 seconds, on an across-his-body throw in the face of pressure that went further than 30 yards to rookie receiver Elic Ayomanor’s back shoulder but was officially registered as a nine-yarder — who gets to keep the football as a keepsake was still unknown.

“I don’t know yet,” Ward said during his annual news conference Wednesday afternoon. “We’re going to see about that one. Me and Elic still gotta talk. I’m trying to get him a second one this week.”
