Will the Titans' defensive line beat up the Chicago Bears' interior?

We finally get to see if the Bears' interior offensive line can come together or not. Last year, we hardly saw Nate Davis and Teven Jenkins healthy together, and when they were, the Bears usually won. They didn’t even have a competent center at that point, so this year things should be much better. 

We have not heard a peep injury-wise from Teven Jenkins and Nate Davis has been healthy for nearly a month now. That is about how long Coleman Shelton has held down the starting center job as well. They come in as strong as ever. 

Still, Tennessee is built to win with their interior defensive line, so this will be a test. Jeffery Simmons is the leader of the group and one of the top interior rushers in the NFL. 

The Titans made sure to support him as a stout run defender in Sebastian Joseph-Day. Joseph-Day was a key free-agent addition and his ability to plug holes should allow Simmons to penetrate rush lanes. 

T’Vondre Sweat was drafted in the second round despite an issue before the draft that would have caused him to fall further. It speaks to how much the Titans like him, but also how much they want to win up-front. 

The Titans set out to improve their defensive front, the Bears did the same with their interior. What looks better in week one?
