Chicago Bears preseason: Tyson Bagent connects with Maurice Alexander for first touchdown against Dolphins

The Chicago Bears registered their first touchdown of the preseason during the second quarter of their August 10, 2025, game against the Miami Dolphins. Quarterback Tyson Bagent directed the offense on a sustained 16-play, 79-yard drive that concluded with a scoring reception by wide receiver Maurice Alexander.

The possession began after the Bears’ offense had opened with two consecutive three-and-out drives in the first quarter. On the third series, Bagent completed multiple critical passes, including a third-down conversion to rookie wide receiver Luther Burden. Rookie running back Kyle Monangai contributed several physical runs, advancing the ball into scoring position.

Facing defensive pressure near the goal line, Bagent delivered a high pass to the back of the end zone. Alexander secured the throw with a leaping grab and maintained possession while getting both feet inbounds for the touchdown.

Bagent completed all but one of his pass attempts on the drive, marking a rebound from his slow start. Alexander recorded two receptions for seven yards during the game’s first half, both coming in red-zone situations.

At halftime, the Bears trailed the Dolphins 14-7 in the Chicago Bears preseason contest.
