Tennessee Titans Top Five Offensive Player Grades Against Chicago Bears per Pro Football Focus

NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Titans got their 2023 preseason started against the Chicago Bears and while it was a 23-17 loss, there were still some excellent performances on the Titans' side of things.

Pro Football Focus released their grades from the game and here are the Titans top five highest-graded players on the offensive side of the ball.

OL Aaron Brewer - 81.9

OL Daniel Brunskill - 79.9

WR Kearis Jackson - 79.4

QB Malik Willis - 79.4

OL Justin Murray - 76.8

The biggest standout immediately is Malik Willis. Willis had an up-and-down performance. He made some fantastic throws and used his legs well, but he also had some turnover-worthy plays mixed in. Even with the highs and lows, Willis was one of the best Titans on the field on Saturday.

No shock we see two of the Titans' starting offensive lineman at the top of the list. The first-string offensive line had a wonderful performance in their only drive on the field that led to a touchdown. They allowed zero sacks and the Titans ran the ball for 41 of their 75 total yards on that drive.

Aaron Brewer moved from guard to center this season and after one drive it would be unwise to draw major conclusions, but it would be fair to say Brewer looked more at home in his new spot. Daniel Brunskill was signed as a free agent from San Francisco and he was an absolute bulldozer in the run game on the opening drive.

We see some reserves with the other two names in wide receiver Kearis Jackson and offensive lineman Justin Murray. Jackson had a two catches for 34 yards including a 25-yard catch. Jackson also returned a kickoff for 29 yards, the best Titans return of the day. Murray played 33 snaps and gave up zero sacks or pressures.

The Titans certainly would have liked to win the game, but with it being preseason, no reason to be upset. The team got some good work in with live situations and some players stepped up. That is all you can ask for in an exhibition game.
