Bears’ Pass Offense vs. Titans’ Pass Defense

It really doesn’t matter that the Titans’ pass defense is ranked 24th in the league. With quarterback Jay Cutler (shoulder) listed as doubtful, wide receiver Alshon Jeffery suspended, and tight end Zach Miller out with a broken foot, the Bears’ offense is primed to have a tough outing. Furthermore, they will be doing this with third-string quarterback Matt Barkley under center. The four-year veteran will be making his first-career start in the NFL, and may find things a bit overwhelming without the offense’s potent weapons.

To top things all off, the interior of Chicago’s offensive line will be without two Pro Bowlers. Right guard Kyle Long is out for the season with an ankle injury, while left guard Josh Sitton is listed as doubtful with an ankle injury of his own. This won’t help at all, considering that Tennessee is tied for third in the NFL with 30 sacks.
