Preview: Tennessee Titans vs. Chicago Bears – Preseason Week 3
The Tennessee Titans host the Chicago Bears for the third preseason game of 2017. Here’s everything you need to know.
After an impressive showing against the Carolina Panthers in Week 2 of the preseason, the Tennessee Titans remain at home to take on another NFC opponent in the Chicago Bears.
The starting offense looked crisp last weekend, and the starting defense created two early turnovers. Last week’s first quarter was a blueprint for how the Titans want to play this season. They’ll look to come away with a similar result this week, but it won’t be easy.
The Bears have an underrated front seven that’s filled with plenty of talent, both young and experienced. Their offense features a strong offensive line, a second-year running back who ran for 1,300 yards last season and a second overall pick at backup quarterback who has shown flashes in preseason.
That all makes for a more intriguing matchup than many might believe.
Where and When
The game will be played at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee. Kickoff is set for 12 p.m. CT, although kickoff is usually delayed about five to seven minutes.
