The hero storyline is set, Williams will step up, score a touchdown and play a solid game that lifts the hope of all sports fans in Chicago, while their defence continues to do a job and dominates the rebuilding offence of the Titans.

The Titans made a significant downgrade in losing Derrick Henry for Tony Pollard who didn’t light things up for Dallas last season really and struggled significantly in the redzone.

The Bears defence will shut down the running game and put all the pressure on the pass offence of the Titans which will fail and hand Chicago the first win of their new era.

Tennessee went 1-7 away from home last season.
Tony Pollard ranked 26th in the NFL with just 4 yards per attempt in 2023-24.
The Bears had the best rush defence in the NFL last season
Caleb Williams had 11 rushing touchdowns in 12 games for USC last season.

*2023-24 Statistics

The Titans offence was bottom-five in the NFL gaining 289 yards per game with 180.4 in passing and 108.6 rushing. When it comes to defence they ranked smack bang in the middle of the pack at 16th in opposition yards with 335.1 per game.

There was a change of guard at quarterback with Ryan Tannehill being replaced by Will Levis, who did show spurts of what he can be, but at an inconsistent level. Besides DeAndre Hopkins, Levis didn’t really have much to throw at and defences were able to shut down veteran running back Derrick Henry.

The Titans finished the season as the worst team in the AFC South with a 6-11 record.

Tennessee Titans Team News

The Titans are on a rebuild, if they care to admit it or not. Moving on from the cornerstones of their offence with the departure of Ryan Tannehill and running back Derrick Henry is like a smoke signal.

The front office has stuck with Will Levis at QB but have brought in Cowboy Tony Pollard at running back and picked up Jacksonville’s best receiver Calvin Ridley and also bolstered their o-line with center Loyd Cushenberry and Saahdiq Charles.

*2023-24 Statistics

Despite having the best rushing defence that allowed just 86.4 yards per game to its opposition and the second-best rushing offence that gained 141.1 yards on the ground, the Bears still finished the year at the bottom of the NFC North with a 7-10 record.

The inconsistency of Justin Fields at QB hurt Chicago and that has been rectified by picking up number one draft pick Caleb Williams, who has a world of expectation on his shoulders and he loves it.

If Williams can live up to 75 percent of the expectation the Bears will become a contender this season with all the weapons he has around him.

Chicago Bears Team News

Caleb Williams as the number one pick was the obvious big move for the Chicago organisation. However, it wasn’t enough and they went out and picked up Keenan Allen and D’Andre Swift to really stack the offence.

Defensively the Bears needed to address their passing and they signed two-time pro bowler Kevin Byard and Jonathan Owens at safety.
