Titans lose preseason opener to Bears: Everything we know

The Titans lost their preseason opener to the Bears on Saturday. Here’s everything we know.

The Tennessee Titans got off to a good start in their preseason Week 1 game against the Chicago Bears, but a quiet second half ultimately led to Tennessee dropping the contest, 23-17.

Tennessee scored 17 points in the first half, with both young quarterbacks leading the offense to touchdown drives in the first two quarters, but the Titans were unable to get on the scoreboard in the final two frames.

Meanwhile, the Bears were able to secure three field goals in the final two quarters to pull ahead, and they thwarted two potential game-winning drives from the Titans with under two minutes left.

Thankfully, it’s the preseason, so the loss means nothing in the grand scheme of things.

The vast majority of Tennessee’s starters on both sides of the ball did not play in this game, but we did get a look at the starting offensive line for a series. We also got an extended look at quarterbacks Will Levis and Malik Willis, both of whom had their ups and downs.

Unfortunately, both signal-callers had to contend with poor pass protection from the backups. We’ll take a look at that and much more in the wake of Tennessee’s preseason Week 1 loss to the Bears.
