The Chicago Bears took on the Cleveland Browns in their first preseason game of 2026. This group came into training camp motivated and ready to work in hopes of improving on the great season they had a year ago.
Having a better start to the year could be the difference between them winning the division and trailing all year. It starts with a strong training camp and preseason. Saturday provided a good start as the Bears defeated the Browns, 34-10.
Head coach Ben Johnson doesn't struggle to get everyone on the team to play hard, and it showed in the victory. There were sloppy moments at times, which is expected during this time of year, but everyone came together for a good overall showing.
Here are our grades for the offense, defense, special teams and coaching staff following the Bears' preseason opener.
Chicago's offense took a second to get going in the first quarter. Quarterback Tyson Bagent looked a little bit out of sync, and they had a hard time driving the ball down the field. Eventually, however, Bagent started to find his rhythm, which allowed him to get the Bears back in the game after going down 10-0.
