The Chicago Bears had the most dominant victory of any team across the first week of the preseason with their 34-10 win over the Cleveland Browns.
Chicago started out slow in the first quarter, trailing 10-0, and partway through the second quarter including allowing quarterback Deshaun Watson to lead the Browns on a 10-play, 81-yard drive that took over six minutes off the clock. However, that was the last time Cleveland would score as Chicago's defense stiffened and the Bears offense got things going, scoring 34 unanswered points en route to a dominating win.
Here is a look at the good, bad and ugly from the Bears' preseason opening victory against the Browns:
Depth performances: Chicago has a lot of talented depth pieces on both sides of the ball that have a real chance of making an impact on the Bears this season. Rookie cornerback Malik Muhammad, who has been having a really good training camp, showed his physicality throughout the game. Wide receiver Kaden Davis had 88 receiving yards, which was the most of anyone in this game. Multiple players on the defensive line had a strong performance including Jamree Kromah and James Lynch. There has been concern that the Bears do not have enough depth on defense, but this game seemed to prove that Chicago has a lot more untapped talent than originally thought.
Case Keenum shines in third quarter: Keenum may be the third-string quarterback, but it is still important to see how he operates in the offense in the event Chicago ever needs him. He finished the day with a perfect quarterback rating, 90 percent completion percentage and two touchdowns. The veteran quarterback was in rhythm the entire time he was in the game and showed that if he ever needed to, he would have no problem operating this offense.
