It was short-lived, but Chicago Bears football is back. Here's what we took away from the first preseason game of the 2024 NFL season:
It was short-lived, but Chicago Bears football is back.The Hall of Fame Game was suspended and cut short due to severe weather with the Bears leading 21-17 in the third quarter. With more lightning on the way, officials and both coaches just agreed to end the exhibition.Brett Rypien and Collin Johnson stood out, as the duo combined for the go-ahead touchdown in the third quarter. The starters did not play, meaning Bears second-string quarterback Tyson Bagent got the start in Canton.
Really the players and coaches have been practicing this formation – it’s a condensed kickoff return formation – that’s the way we practice, that the way we’ve practiced for – I’ve been in the league 18 years, and probably for about 15 of those years we’ve practiced the way this is going to actually play out because we want to save guys legs with the running. It’s just something where we’re going to have to see how it plays out.
