Biggest studs from Bears' preseason win vs. Browns
The Chicago Bears had a number of standout performances in the 34-10 preseason win over the Cleveland Browns.
The Chicago Bears secured a dominant 34-10 victory over the Cleveland Browns in their preseason opener at Soldier Field. Although the majority of starters did not take the field, the game provided ample opportunities for players vying for starting positions and roster spots to showcase their skills. The Bears' offense experienced a sluggish start in the first half, trailing 10-10, but they swiftly gained momentum in the second half, scoring 24 points.
Among the noteworthy performances were several players who demonstrated their capabilities during live game action, while others left a strong impression. Here's an account of the key players from the Bears' impressive win against the Browns. Defensive end Jamree Kromah delivered a standout performance on defense, recording two sacks and contributing six tackles, including three for losses and two quarterback hits.
One notable sack involved Tackling Browns' starting quarterback Deshaun Watson on fourth-and-2. Wide receiver Kaden Davis had already proven his worth in training camp, and his performance continued to shine in the preseason opener. He recorded four receptions for 88 yards and a touchdown under quarterback Tyson Bagent. Running back Salvon Ahmed, often overlooked in training camp, proved his value in the Bears' offensive scheme.
He had only two carries for 17 yards but provided a significant highlight with a 49-yard touchdown reception from quarterback Tyson Bagent. Quarterback Case Keenum, the backup to starting quarterback Tyson Bagent, showcased a strong performance in the third quarter. Keenum completed 9-of-10 passes for 151 yards, with two touchdowns to running backs Salvon Ahmed and Brittain Brown, and achieved a passer rating of 158.3.
Wide receiver Maurice Alexander also made a strong statement in his second consecutive preseason opener. Alexander scored the first touchdown for the Bears in two consecutive preseason games, both from backup quarterback Tyson Bagent. Although he had one dropped pass, Alexander had three catches for 42 yards, including a 25-yard touchdown.
Running back Salvon Ahmed and defensive lineman Ruben Hyppolite II were highlights from the Bears' defense. Ahmed's 55-yard touchdown reception highlighted his playmaking ability, while Hyppolite led the team with seven tackles and a pass breakup on special teams. Hyppolite, who faced criticism during his rookie season, had positive defensive contributions but suffered a shoulder injury and did not return.
