Titans Star Goes on NSFW Rant After Week 1 Loss to Bears
Week 1 wasn't the prettiest for the Chicago Bears, but it still resulted in a win for Matt Eberflus' team. There are certainly some things to improve, like the new Caleb Williams-led offense that struggled to move the ball and put up points. But the fact Chicago won despite all of that shows how strong the supporting cast is around the rookie quarterback.
This has to feel like a missed opportunity for the Tennessee Titans, who enjoyed more success on offense but had mistakes that came back to bite them as well.
In fact, Titans star Jeffery Simmons sounds incredibly bitter about Tennessee's defeat on Sunday.
Simmons had a NSFW take on the Bears' offense following their struggles in Week 1. The two-time Pro Bowler said he saw "nothing" from Chicago's attack. He went as far to say "they didn't do s*** on offense."
When it comes to the passing attack, Simmons has a bit of a point. Williams was very quiet in his NFL debut, putting up only 93 yards, meanwhile taking two sacks for a loss of 29 yards. However, he had a touchdown that new wide receiver Keenan Allen dropped, so his statline should've looked a tad better.
The run game unfortunately wasn't much of a priority with the Bears trailing much of the contest, but Chicago still managed to record 84 rushing yards. Twenty of those came on an electric run from D'Andre Swift, who hurdled a Titans defender on the play.
Frankly, Simmons should be looking at his unit instead of bagging on an opponent. The Bears' defense and special teams made game-changing plays, forcing three turnovers on the afternoon, including two of which were turned into touchdowns. Chicago's pressure on Will Levis also clearly played a role in Tennessee's collapse.
The Titans didn't rattle the QB making his first NFL start nearly as much, which allowed the Bears to hang around and eventually squeak out the win.
