Sep 8, 2024, 08:06 PM

The Chicago Bears secured a 24-17 victory over the Tennessee Titans in a dramatic comeback, marking their first win of the season. Despite a modest performance from rookie quarterback Caleb Williams, who completed 14 of 29 passes for 92 yards with no touchdowns, the Bears rallied from a 17-0 deficit. Williams also added 15 rushing yards and had no interceptions. The victory was largely driven by the Bears' defense and special teams, which scored touchdowns on a blocked punt and a pick-six. Williams, the first overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, became the first No. 1 overall quarterback to win his debut game since David Carr in 2002. The Bears' defense pitched a shutout in the second half, contributing significantly to the team's success.
