Bears vs. Titans game summary

Both Williams and Levis were rather ineffective for most of the first quarter. However, the Titans opened the scoring when running back Tony Pollard rushed for a 26-yard touchdown with just under a minute on the clock.

It was an 8-play, 79-yard drive that gave Tennessee the lead and Nick Folk converted the extra point to give the visitors an important 7-0 lead at the end of the first quarter.

The second quarter began with Folk scoring a 40-yard field goal. Tennessee then pushed to extend its lead and did so when Levis connected with Chigoziem Okwonkwo for a 17-yard touchdown with 3:44 left in the second quarter.

The Bears had no meaningful response for Tennessee, barring a 24-yard field goal by Cairo Santos just before halftime. The Titans led 17-3 midway through the game.

However, the Bears fought back in the third quarter and were handed a lifeline when Daniel Hardy blocked a punt which resulted in a 36-yard touchdown return by Jonathan Owens. Chicago cut the lead to seven points heading into the final quarter.

The Bears inched closer to making a historic comeback when Santos made a 50-yard field goal 13 seconds into the fourth quarter. The kicker then made a 48-yard field goal, his third of the match, with just under 10 minutes remaining to claw Chicago back to 17-16.

The Bears eventually took the lead for the first time in the game when Levis panicked and threw an interception to Tyrique Stevenson who converted a 43-yard interception return for a touchdown. Williams then picked out D'Andre Swift for the 2-point try and Chicago led 24-17 with 7:35 to play.

The Bears held on for the remainder of the game to begin their season with a win.
