The Bears will kick off their season against the Tennessee Titans in 74 days. There’s always excitement around the first week, but this year feels especially different due to the Bears’ extensive roster changes since the 2023 season. But the week one matchup has taken a personal turn, as Titans’ star defensive end Jeffrey Simmons called out Bears’ quarterback Caleb Williams during an appearance on the Rich Eisen Show.

“Painted nails. I can’t wait to say that to him.”

In all honesty, this seems like weak trash talk. Caleb Williams has embraced painting his nails as a form of self-expression and isn’t bothered by what others think. However, it’s interesting that Simmons might be trying to play mind games before the season opener. If I were Caleb, I would, and I think he will, use this as extra motivation to dominate the Titans at home. This is just adding more fuel to his fire.
