Here are some notable numbers and stats from the Bears' exciting 24-17 comeback win over the Titans in Sunday's season opener at Soldier Field:

24

Unanswered points the Bears scored over the game's final 30:27, enabling them to rally from a 17-0 deficit. It's their largest comeback win since they also erased a 17-point disadvantage in the 2020 season opener in Detroit, turning a 23-6 fourth-quarter deficit into a 27-23 victory. It's also tied for the fourth largest comeback win in franchise history; the Bears twice overcame 20-point deficits in 2006 and 1987 victories over the Cardinals and Buccaneers, respectively, and rallied from 19 points down in a 2001 win over the 49ers.

6

Consecutive home games the Bears have won, their longest streak since they won six straight in 2008-09. The Bears won their final five home contests last year, beating the Raiders, Panthers, Lions, Cardinals and Falcons.

3

Takeaways the Bears defense generated, all in the fourth quarter. Defensive end Darrell Taylor's strip-sack set up a field goal, cornerback Tyrique Stevenson returned an interception 43 yards to give the Bears their first lead of the game and cornerback Jaylon Johnson sealed the win with a late interception.

2

Sacks recorded by Taylor in his first game with the Bears. He was acquired Aug. 24 in a trade with the Seahawks in exchange for a 2025 sixth-round pick. Taylor registered 21.5 sacks the past three seasons in Seattle, and his two sacks Sunday were the second most in a game in his career behind a 2.5-sack performance Jan. 1, 2023, in a Seahawks win over the Jets.

1

Interceptions that Stevenson has returned for touchdowns in four years of high school, four years of college and two NFL seasons. Stevenson's 43-yard pick-six gave the Bears their first lead of Sunday's game.

189

Games since the Bears last blocked a punt—let alone returned a blocked punt for a touchdown as they did Sunday. The momentum swung early in the third quarter when Daniel Hardy blocked a Titans punt and Jonathan Owens returned it 21 yards for a touchdown, drawing the Bears to within 17-10. Coincidentally, the last time the Bears blocked a punt was also in a win over the Titans; Sherrick McManis blocked a punt and fellow Northwestern product Corey Wootton returned it five yards for a TD in a 51-20 victory Nov. 4, 2012, in Nashville.

22

Years since a quarterback selected No. 1 overall in the draft won in his debut. Caleb Williams became the first to do so since the Texans' David Carr in 2002. In between Williams and Carr, quarterbacks chosen No. 1 were 0-14-1 in their initial starts.

1

Bears rookie quarterbacks to win a season opener since at least 1950. Williams secured that honor Sunday while becoming the first Bears rookie quarterback to start a season opener since Kyle Orton in 2005. Williams also became the fifth Bears rookie quarterback to win their first NFL start since at least 1950, joining Jim McMahon (1982), Rex Grossman (2003), Craig Krenzel (2004) and Tyson Bagent (2023).

14

50-yard-plus field goals Cairo Santos has made as a member of the Bears, third most in team history behind Robbie Gould (23) and Kevin Butler (16). Santos connected on all three of his attempts Sunday, including a 50-yarder. On kicks of at least 50 yards, Santos is 12-of-14 (85.7%) the past three seasons after converting 3-of-12 (25.0%) the previous five years.

131

Yards DeAndre Carter generated in the return game. The seventh-year pro returned five punts for 64 yards, including returns of 20 and 16 yards, and had a 67-yard kickoff return that set up a field goal late in the first half.

0

Points the Bears allowed in the second half. After permitting 116 yards rushing on 16 carries in the first half, the defense held the Titans to 25 yards rushing on 10 attempts in the second half.

Times the Bears have opened the season against the Titans, including when the franchise was known as the Houston Oilers. The only remaining NFL teams the Bears have never faced in Week 1 are the Eagles, Panthers, Saints, Patriots, Jets, Raiders and Broncos.
