Starter Struggles in Preseason Opener Show Bears Still Have Room for Improvement

The Chicago Bears had not played at Soldier Field since losing to the Detroit Lions in Week 16 last December, but they came away with a 27-10 victory at home against the Miami Dolphins Thursday night to open the preseason.

Chicago's starters played sparingly on Thursday night, but both the offensive and defensive first teams struggled in their limited snaps against the Dolphins. Despite coming away with a victory, the Bears proved they still have room for improvement on both sides of the football.

On offense, the Bears gained a total of 357 yards on 68 plays.
