Three keys for the Bears to win Sunday’s season opener against the Titans at Soldier Field:

1. Make Caleb’s life easy

The last 10 quarterbacks drafted first overall failed to win their career debut. Those rookies didn’t land on a team with the pieces the Bears have, however. To make Caleb Williams’ debut end on a happy note, the Bears will lean on running back D’Andre Swift and a quick passing game that features newcomers Keenan Allen, Rome Odunze and Gerald Everett.

2. Adjust on the fly

The Titans have a first-year head coach in Brian Callahan, who will call plays on offense, and a first-time defensive coordinator in Dennard Wilson.
