The Bears beat the Miami Dolphins 27-10 in their first preseason game on Thursday night. The main point of preseason games is to decide who earns the last quarter or so of the spots on the 53-man roster, and those 2nd and 3rd team players were the reason for the Bears win as they dominated the 2nd half. The Bears made it tough on the turk last night by crushing the Dolphins 24-0 in the 2nd half.
Preseason games are the crucible for the bottom third of the roster and the performance of players in live preseason action plays a big part in determining who makes the final 53-man roster.
