CANTON, Ohio -- While Caleb Williams, C.J. Stroud and other starters from both teams watched from the sideline, the NFL's new kickoffs didn't provide any excitement.

Brett Rypien stole the show before lighting and heavy rain ended the game early.

The veteran quarterback threw three touchdown passes, leading the Chicago Bears to a 21-17 victory over the Houston Texans on Thursday night in the Hall of Fame game.

The NFL's exhibition opener was stopped with 3:31 left in the third quarter and was called off after a 36-minute delay.
