CHICAGO -- An unexpected source brought the horsepower to the Bears' 34-10 win over the Cleveland Browns on Saturday.
Bears wide receivers coach/assistant head coach Antwaan Randle El was handed playcalling duties for the second half of Chicago's preseason opener by coach Ben Johnson. The result was 24 unanswered points, 12 first downs and 235 yards as the Bears blew out the Browns at Soldier Field.
"I thought he did a phenomenal job with [quarterback] Case [Keenum] taking the reins and then transition on over to [quarterback] Miller [Moss] just to see how he was trying to stay in their wheelhouse," Johnson said. "He was part of the quarterback meeting last night, and we were talking about what was on the call sheet and their favorites and all that. And I think it was a phenomenal experience for him, and I know our guys rallied around that as well."
