Tua Tagovailoa opened Miami’s preseason drive with clean efficiency, finishing 5-of-6 for 27 yards as the Dolphins moved 15 plays against Chicago’s backups. A Bears goal-line stand kept Miami from scoring on its first possession, but the night belonged to the QB depth charts, with Zach Wilson and Quinn Ewers delivering three straight TD drives and a 56-yard field goal by Jason Sanders to tie the game late at 24.

Chicago’s defense dominated Johnson’s debut, racking six sacks, including three by Austin Booker, and forcing a turnover on a strip-sack near the goal line that set up a Keenum-to-Hankins TD. Ewers connected on a 21-yard play to Mattison and a late score by rookie Ollie Gordon to swing the lead, while Wilson came back to connect with Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Tahj Washington for sustained drives. The showcase elevated depth-chart chatter and fantasy optimism for Miami’s backup quarterbacks.
