Cam Ward was robbed off of what could have been a brilliant touchdown pass against the Atlanta Falcons on Friday. The 23-year-old made a long completion just six-and-a-half minutes into the game. The throw nearly connected with Van Jefferson, but the veteran WR couldn't grab onto it and fell down. Tennessee fans were left fuming at Jefferson's mistake.

“Van Jefferson just dropped what would have been a TD from Cam Ward 😭” one fan wrote on X, platform formerly known as Twitter.
“Hell of a throw by Cam Ward. Catch the ball,” another person tweeted.
