The Miami Dolphins and Chicago Bears kicked off their preseason today with a week one contest. The game featured starters for both teams making brief cameos, before giving way to the depth players with coaches looking to learn more about their roster bubble players.
The Dolphins starters plaid fairly well early in the game, even without players like wide receivers DeVante Parker, Will Fuller, Albert Wilson, Preston Williams, and Allen Hurns. The defense held the Bears to no first downs until the final minute of the first half.
That said, there were still areas that need to be addressed.
