Titans vs. Bears: Key matchups to watch in Week 9

The Titans must make stopping Khalil Mack a priority in Week 9.

If you came here for analysis on the Tennessee Titans’ edge-rush versus the Chicago Bears’ piecemeal offensive line, I suggest you look elsewhere.

A similar opportunity presented itself to the Titans’ pressure “specialists” last week versus the Cincinnati Bengals, and it was a gift squandered. Therefore, I’d rather not waste anyone’s time projecting defensive end Jadeveon Clowney’s first sack, and it’s unsure if he even suits up.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the Titans look to get back on track after a two-game skid in which they took two “L’s” to the chin at the hands of the AFC North.

The two-tone blue will face an uphill battle. The Bears (5-3) have done nothing flashy this season, but have one of the league’s best defenses and remain in the thick of the NFC playoff race.

This game could be monumental going forward — momentum is invaluable in November and into December. So, without further ado, let’s take a look at the key matchups to watch in Week 9.
