Now that we’ve had a night to sleep on the Tennessee Titans’ preseason Week 1 loss to the Chicago Bears, it’s time to take a look at the biggest takeaways from it.
Tennessee had a 17-14 halftime lead, but that would be all the scoring the Titans would do. The Bears’ defense put the clamps on Tennessee after that, ultimately securing a 23-17 win on the strength of three second-half field goals.
The Titans did have a chance at a pair of game-winning drives late, but both quarterback Will Levis and Malik Willis had miscues to thwart them.
Of course, the loss means absolutely nothing. We’re really focused on how young players and roster bubble guys looked, how units on both sides of the ball performed as a whole, and if things either got clearer or murkier in certain competitions up and down the roster.
Without further ado, the biggest takeaways from the Titans’ preseason opener on Saturday.
