While Malik Willis and Will Levis were on center stage battling for the Titans' backup QB spot, Justin Fields was in a groove early for the Bears.
Willis led two scoring drives: a touchdown run on the first drive of the game when the starting offensive line was on the field, and a two-minute drill to set up a field goal before halftime. Levis led a scoring drive after inheriting a short field and throwing the team into the red zone, when the running game took over.
On the other sideline, Justin Fields threw for 129 yards and two touchdowns on just 3-for-3 passing. His second pass of the game was a 62-yard TD strike to offseason acquisition D.J. Moore, and then Fields hit running back Khalil Herbert for a 56-yard score on a catch-and-run on the following possession. Fields' day was done after that.
Willis looked at ease playing behind the Titans' first-team offensive line, adjusting to make a 30-yard pass after his first read was covered and thriving on designed runs in goal-to-go situations. He was a little less successful when the starters came out. He threw an interception on a pass he rocketed too high and off the hands of tight end Josh Whyle, and was sacked and lost a fumble late in the second quarter.
