And with that, the 2012 preseason finally draws to a close, and the Bears put the finishing touches on theirs with a 28-20 victory over the Browns in their seemingly-annual Battle of the Backups.
Tomorrow, the team will have to cut the roster down from their current 75 to the gameday 53, meaning that in less than 18 hours, twenty-two players will no longer be employed by the Bears. Tonight's game could have gone a long way to saving some jobs and losing others - we'll find out tomorrow who is who.
Quick, victorious numbers after the jump.
Josh McCown: 20/29, 157 yards, 2 TD, INT
Armando Allen: 16 rushes, 83 yards; 5 receptions, 51 yards, TD
