The Tennessee Titans will begin their 2024 campaign on Sunday afternoon when they travel to Soldier Field to take on the Chicago Bears , with kickoff set for 1 p.m. ET.
Following a 6-11 season, the Titans have made several changes, including hiring a new head coach in Brian Callahan, who takes over for Mike Vrabel. Tennessee has also added a ton of talent on both sides of the ball to address the many issues the team had in 2023.
But all eyes will be on Bears quarterback Caleb Williams, who enters the NFL with a ton of hype after being the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft . He's going to be tested right away against a new-look Titans secondary.
With all that in mind, here's a look at three bold predictions for the Titans ahead of their Week 1 contest against the Bears.
Titans don't give up a sack
If you've watched the Titans' offensive line the past two years, you know just how big of a feat not allowing a single sack would be.
The Titans sported arguably the worst offensive line in the league the past two seasons, but the team has revamped the unit in 2024, drafting JC Latham to play left tackle and signing Lloyd Cushenberry to take over at center.
Tennessee's offensive line played well in pass protection during the preseason and that will continue in Week 1.
No TD passes for Caleb Williams
Along with the changes on offense, the Titans also made significant changes to their cornerbacks room, with the team trading for L'Jarius Sneed and signing Chidobe Awuzie in free agency to give them an impressive trio when combined with slot cornerback Roger McCreary.
Tennessee's revamped cornerbacks room is going to be a tough test for Williams, and so much so that the rookie won't throw a single touchdown pass in Week 1.
Will Levis throws for 350 yards
Speaking of tough tests, the Bears have an up-and-coming defense that made strides near the end of last season.
Over his nine games in 2023, Levis only threw for 300 yards once, but things have changed drastically in terms of his supporting cast. Tennessee has upgraded its wide receivers room with the signings of Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd, and the team's offensive line should be better in pass protection.
Levis comes out of the gate firing in a more pass-heavy offense than the one he operated in last season and the Kentucky product tallies 350 yards through the air in his 2024 debut.
