NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- In a game in which quarterback Will Levis said his "bonehead play" handed the Chicago Bears the game as his Tennessee Titans dropped their season opener in historic fashion, it would be easy for the defense to point the finger at special teams and the offense after their poor performances.
Tennessee's defense didn't allow the Bears to get into end zone despite being put in adverse situations after a 66-yard kick return and a strip sack had Chicago starting offensive drives deep in Titans territory.
The 24-17 defeat is the only time in NFL history a team lost a game in which they possessed at least a 17-point lead and gave up fewer than 150 total yards of offense.
