The Tennessee Titans swelled like a wave in the first half of their season opener against the Chicago Bears, looking like they were going to dominate the Bears at Soldier Field. Then halftime hit and that wave came crashing down like a tidal wave, crushing Titans fans’ optimism as they watched their team implode in a 24-17 loss.
The Titans learned a lot about themselves in that loss. The defense was the lone bright spot during the game as both of the Bears’ touchdowns came when the defense was off the field. A pick-6 from Will Levis and a blocked punt were part of the Bears’ 21 unanswered second-half points. Head coach Brian Callahan failed to make any impactful adjustments to head off the Bears attack, and Levis may have had more jitters than he let on.
As we enter Week 2, here’s a look at where the Titans place in a multitude of power rankings.
