Tennessee Titans players got stuck on an elevator while the team is in Chicago to play the Bears on Thursday in the final preseason game of 2019.
Well, I guess if you’re going to get stuck on an elevator like some Tennessee Titans players did, it’s best to go through such an ordeal with teammates by your side.
That’s right, Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan and a bunch of his teammates got stuck on an elevator in Chicago before the final preseason tilt with the Bears in a saga that lasted over 40 minutes.
We know this because Dad was nice enough to share the video of himself, Dennis Kelly, Nate Davis, Rodger Saffold, Ben Jones, and others, packed into an elevator like sardines.
The video is from Lewan’s Instagram story, but Matt Neely was nice enough to tweet it out for us. Just to warn you, there is a large man without a shirt on in one of the scenes of this video.

Now, that’s a lot of big men packed into one small space.
That elevator must have felt like 150 degrees after awhile, and you can hear the comments about how hot it was. Jones was even forced to take his shirt off, which was a 200 IQ play considering the situation.
Thankfully for the players, the doors finally opened and disaster was averted.
With what is undoubtedly a group of men with huge appetites, the players might have had to resort to cannibalism had it taken longer for this to be resolved.
Although, with the collective strength of them all, I’m sure they could have pried those doors open themselves before it got to that.
The Titans will take on the Bears on Thursday night at Soldier Field in what will be the fourth and final preseason game. Tennessee will open the regular season on the road on September 8th against the Cleveland Browns.
