Derrick Henry didn’t beat the Bears on Sunday.
Ryan Tannehill didn’t, either.
So how did they lose?
The Bears’ defense faced a familiar Matt Nagy-era scenario in a 24-17 loss to the Titans at Nissan Stadium in Nashville — it played well enough to win, but didn’t.
The Bears held Henry, the NFL’s leading rusher, to 68 yards on 21 carries. They sacked Tannehill three times and held him to 158 passing yards. They held the Titans, who rank with in the NFL in total offense, to 228 yards on 55 plays (4.1 yards per play) — well below their averages of 385 yards and 6.
