Storms shortened the Hall of Fame Game to less than three quarters but the Bears offense came to life behind Brett Rypien, who threw three TD passes.
The last thing anyone would have thought the Bears would have on their hands heading into training camp is a quarterback controversy.
It’s possible they do, but it doesn’t involve Caleb Williams.
Brett Rypien gave coaches something to think about in the Hall of Fame Game Thursday as he threw for three touchdowns and completed 11 of 15 for 166 yards in a 21-17 Bears win over Houston.
Rypien is listed as even with Tyson Bagent in the backup Bears QB battle, according to the team’s depth chart. However, he looked like a QB who has experience with the offensive system in the preseason opener, and he is.
“He’s been in this offense, he knows the offense well, he’s heard the verbage, he understands the concepts and you can see that,” Bears coach Matt Eberflus said of Rypien. “He definitely understands the space that needs to be occupied by the receivers.
“And then how they get open and you could see that today. He was throwing guys open.”
