The Chicago Bears hosted the Miami Dolphins for their preseason opener Sunday at Soldier Field, which culminated in a 24-24 tie.
The Bears starters didn’t play in this game, but there was still plenty of excitement, including some notable young players with standout performances in Ben Johnson’s coaching debut. Three of Chicago’s young rookie weapons made their debuts with tight end Colston Loveland, wide receiver Luther Burden III and running back Kyle Monangai all getting involved. Meanwhile, defensive coordinator Dennis Allen gave us a glimpse of what we can expect from this aggressive Bears defense — which forced two turnovers and notched six sacks — and the starters weren’t even in the game.
Here’s a look at the best and worst from the Bears offense and defense following Sunday’s preseason tie:
