Quarterbacks Lead Bears to 28-20 Win
All three quarterbacks battling for the Chicago Bears’ starting job directed touchdown drives Monday night, but Mike Tomczak had the best statistics in a 28-20 exhibition victory over the Miami Dolphins.
Tomczak, who started five games last season, completed seven of eight passes for 122 yards and two touchdowns. Jim McMahon connected on four of six passes for 47 yards and directed an 84-yard touchdown drive in his only appearance.
The Bears failed to score on the first three possessions directed by Jim Harbaugh, who then led them 89 yards for their final touchdown and finished with five completions in eight attempts for 52 yards.
All three quarterbacks began the game listed as No. 1.
Dan Marino directed Miami on its first two possessions and completed five of seven passes for 62 yards. Backup Cliff Stoudt hit 10 of 14 for 177 yards and touchdowns to Andre Brown and Scott Schwedes.
