CHICAGO (AP) -- Ryan Tannehill picked apart a rebuilt defense, throwing for a touchdown on the game's opening drive, and the Miami Dolphins led into the second half before the Chicago Bears rallied for a 27-10 victory in the preseason opener Thursday night.

  • #17, Miami
    6-7, 56 yds, 1 TDs






The Bears used two interceptions by reserves to set up a touchdown and field goal that gave them a 10-point lead early in the fourth quarter.

The rally aside, it was not a promising performance by a team coming off a five-win season. The Bears hired general manager Ryan Pace and coach John Fox while overhauling the defense, but there clearly is work to do.
Miami, 8-8 last season, looked good until Chicago's reserves made their move.
''I think we're very confident,'' Tannehill said. ''I think that we're excited about the talent that we have, the guys that we brought in. I feel like we made this a better team and we're excited about what we have.''
Tannehill, armed with a $96 million contract extension, played like a big-money quarterback, going 6 of 7 for 56 yards. He threw a 2-yard touchdown to Jarvis Landry to finish an 85-yard drive and called it a night.


Good start for the first team.

Starters looked great. Big fall off once the reserves came in. That was our issue last year. Better hope we stay healthy.
 
6. Breakout Candidate in Miami: Ryan Tannehill's a popular sleeper for a big season in 2015, thanks to his performance last year and the weapons the Dolphins added for him. His first drive against the bears showed why.

He looks as comfortable in the pocket as he ever has and the Bill Lazor offensive scheme he's running is perfectly suited for him. Tannehill can run but doesn't need to and he looked a lot more accurate down the field than he usually does. He also appeared able to throw with anticipation and to throw balls into tighter windows.

Tannehill finished 6-7 for 56 yards and a touchdown, so it's a limited sample size here. But it was impressive the way he carved up the Bears defense and utilized multiple weapons (Greg Jennings was involved!), including a red-zone touchdown pass to Jarvis Landry.

First drive as a TD pass to Landry.... how can you not love?!?!?!

i am very excited about that... solid running game, solid passing game, a TD!!! it may be showing some positive aspects that is brewing from these young guys into a more mature consistant offense!!! obviously we have much more to work on and see ahead in the future though... .but it was a great start!!!
 
Hey, Ryan Tannehill here, in case you already didn't know....if I get hurt, we are ****ed.
 
139.6 QB rating...not bad for the first outing of the season. I didn't get to watch the game yet but from what I was tracking it looks as though the 3rd and 4th string players were playing against some 1st and 2nd string players from Chicago. Still the drop off was pretty bad but it was also the first preseason game and some of the younger guys on the squad trying to make the 53 were probably pressing a bit. I heard A.J. Francis played well but Anthony Johnson did not. Anyone concur with that assessment?

IIRC he had a couple offsides penalty, wasn't bad but nothing spectacular, although I didn't zero in on him so I might be off...

Francis looked good for sure, but it's a real uphill climb for him to make the team. One of the few reserves that had good games along with Hull and Vigil. But Johnson was downright bad with 3 offside penalties, with no positive plays I can remember. Other disappointing performances by reserves were Bobby McCain with three defensive holding calls (though he looked good in coverage and run support), Cedric Thomson who whiffed on two tackles on TD runs, and all the backup QB's though I thought the Bethel-Thompson kid had nice poise, command and arm strength early in his stint. He ended up throwing three really bad balls in Fins territory, two of which were picked off.
 
Awesome that the first team offense scored a TD (and defense had a 3n'Out), and what really impressed me is the way they overcame the holding penalty at the goal line. Those are usually drive killers, but they showed they had the goods to overcome, even if it took 4 downs. Very nice, could not have asked for a better game 1 from the starters.
