The Chicago Bears took on the Miami Dolphins in their preseason opener Sunday at Soldier Field, which resulted in a 24-24 tie (with no overtime in the preseason). This came after an intense joint practice on Friday, where the starters went head-to-head.

His 77.3 passer rating is a bit deceptive – as he turned around a largely ineffective first couple of series to show poise, accuracy, and arm strength in leading the Chicago Bears in the first half of the game against the Dolphins.

With Caleb Williams sitting out, backup quarterback Tyson Bagent ran the offense for the first half, leaving the second half to Case Keenum and Austin Reed. Bears coach Ben Johnson played just three of his first-string players.
