For long-time Chicago Bears fans, the Week 1 win was a trip down memory lane. The Bears pulled off a rare victory against the Tennessee Titans without scoring a single offensive touchdown.
The game was marked by significant plays, including a strip-sack of quarterback Will Levis, a pick-six by Tyrique Stevenson, and a crucial interception by Jaylon Johnson. The pivotal moment came when the Bears blocked a Titans punt, with Daniel Hardy making the initial disruption and safety Jonathan Owens returning it for a touchdown, reflecting classic Bears defensive prowess.
After the game, Titans head coach Brian Callahan expressed frustration with his team’s performance, especially on offense. Earlier in the week, Callahan had joked that if the Titans had simply punted on 1st-and-10 throughout the second half, they might have emerged victorious.
