Titans QB Mariota remains on fast track
On the fumbled exchange between Barkley and running back Jordan Howard, center Cody Whitehall’s shotgun snap was off to the quarterback’s left, throwing off the timing of the play (which was to the right).
The last time the Titans played in Chicago was November 9th, 2008, marking the first time the Titans traveled to the Windy City for a regular season game since 1995, and it also marked the Titans’ first appearance at the renovated Soldier Field, which re-opened in 2003 after extensive remodeling.
“I have no idea”, Thompson said. The defense has been playing solid ball all season long, but I guess they took the day off. This group doesn’t drop balls. The first ever Bears-Oilers matchup, played October 28th, 1973 in Chicago, was won by the Bears 35-14. That said, Meredith on Suday was put in the position to show that he has the talent to be a No. 2 or No. 3 receiver, and he didn’t get the job done.
The football fans of this city would have talked for years about the top highlight of the Bears’ terrible 2016 season.
Two Bears wide receivers, Josh Bellamy and Deonte Thompson, dropped Barkley passes that if caught would have been touchdowns. “I think it’s just a matter of being out there more”. Maybe the Bears can throw money at Kirk Cousins and tempt him away from Washington, but whatever the route Chicago take it looks like they will be stuck in quarterback limbo once again. “But we do not have all the tests run to give you a real solid prognosis at this point”.
The Titans escaped a second half come from behind effort led by Bears backup quarterback Matt Barkley Sunday. Jay Cutler completed 17 of 30 passes for 252 yards and a touchdown against one interception.
Things got dicey for the Titans in the fourth quarter as Matt Barkley led the Bears on two touchdown drives to make it a 6-point game 27-21 with just over three minutes to go. Chicago Bears linebacker Danny Trevathan was injured on non-contact while attempting to make a tackle late in the Bears’ 27-21 loss to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday afternoon. They will root next weekend against the Texans, who play at Green Bay, and the Colts, who play at the Jets. “We didn’t have him in preseason, so I wasn’t able to see that”. I think that’s the goal from here on out.
Barkley may not be the answer, but he certainly looked no worse than Cutler, a player the Bears might be stuck with.
“He was very impressive”. “He came out prepared”.
With the right results, they could jump back into action to prepare for a December 11 home game against the Broncos holding a share of first place. “We’re in a scenario now where we have a chance to do that”.
Bears QB Matt Barkley, in his first National Football League start, tossed two red-zone interceptions, or two more than Mariota has thrown in his career.
We’ll do just that below. “I thought he had poise in the pocket”. Instead of continuing to go with what had been working and throwing the ball all over the Bears crippled defense, which would have put the game out of reach, the coaches made a decision to rely on their run game and defense to close the game out. Hopefully, he will continue to grow and get better.
