Chicago Bears Beat Los Angeles Rams 24-10 in Preseason Clash

Bears Defense Dominates, Offense Struggles

The Chicago Bears secured a convincing 24-10 victory over the Los Angeles Rams in a preseason matchup at SoFi Stadium on Saturday night. The Bears' defense showcased their strength, while the offense faced some challenges.

Defense Shines Bright

The Bears' defense was relentless throughout the game, forcing three turnovers and limiting the Rams to just 252 total yards. Rookie linebacker Jack Sanborn intercepted a pass and returned it for a touchdown, while cornerback Jaylon Johnson added another interception. The defensive line also applied constant pressure on Rams quarterback Bryce Perkins, sacking him twice.

Offense Faces Setbacks

The Bears' offense struggled to find rhythm, managing only 287 total yards. Quarterback Justin Fields completed 7 of 13 passes for 70 yards, while running back Khalil Herbert led the rushing attack with 54 yards on 11 carries. The offense failed to score a touchdown until the fourth quarter, relying on three field goals from kicker Cairo Santos.

Preseason Progress

Despite the offensive struggles, the Bears' preseason performance provides valuable insights. The defense's dominance is encouraging, as it builds on their strong showing in the previous game against the Seattle Seahawks. The offense, however, needs to improve its consistency and execution in order to be a threat in the regular season.

Looking Ahead

The Bears will face the Cleveland Browns in their final preseason game on August 27th. This matchup will provide another opportunity to assess their progress and make adjustments before the start of the regular season on September 11th against the San Francisco 49ers.
