Friday night featured several starting offenses playing extended time, including Titans rookie QB and No. 1 pick Cam Ward, who led a long touchdown drive in one of his two series against the Vikings. He completed 3-of-4 passes for 36 yards in his finale preseason tune-up before the games really count in September.

After that, the final 10 preseason matchups will unfold on Saturday and it'll be full steam head to the game counting for real. Of course, this final preseason slate is a mixed bag. Some teams will use it as a dress rehearsal of sorts to give their starters one last moment to shake off the offseason rest.

The Chicago Bears and Caleb Williams are hopeful of making a big jump during the upcoming 2025 NFL season. After another year of disappointment in 2024, there is optimism about the Bears potentially being a playoff contender. Williams will play a huge role in Chicago's chances of making that jump.
