The Chicago Bears wrapped up their preseason Saturday evening, holding off a late rally to beat the Cleveland Browns 21-20 at FirstEnergy Stadium. Here are the key moments and points from the game.
Go ahead, Bears fans. Frame this one. It doesn’t have to be in a huge, decorative frame above the fireplace. (This is only the preseason, after all.) But at least grab a 5-by-7 frame for the coffee table in the living room. Put the performance on display. Give it its just due. That’s how efficient and dialed in Justin Fields and the Bears offense were in the first half of Saturday’s victory. With Fields at quarterback, the Bears ran 29 plays and scored 21 points. Fields completed 14 of his 16 passes for 156 yards with three touchdowns.
A first-half hat trick. A passer rating of 146.9. Some welcome confidence and momentum for the offense as the Bears will now use the next two weeks to prepare for their Sept. 11 season opener against the San Francisco 49ers at Soldier Field.
Yes, the Browns chose not to play standout pass rushers Myles Garrett and Jadeveon Clowney and lost safety Grant Delpit to a hip injury in the first half.
