Take a look at some of the notable numbers and stats from the Bears' 21-17 victory over the Houston Texans in Thursday's storm-shortened Hall of Fame Game:

3

Touchdowns by backup QB Brett Rypien

The six-year pro shined in his Bears debut, throwing touchdown passes of 20, 22 and nine yards. Those three scores are tied for the most passing touchdowns in a Bears preseason game season since Justin Fields against the Browns Aug. 27, 2022.

148.9

Rypien's QB rating

Rypien, who played his first four NFL seasons with the Broncos before spending time with the Rams, Seahawks and Jets last season, recorded the highest quarterback rating among all quarterbacks in Thursday's game, completing 11 of his 15 pass attempts for 166 yards.

Texans backup quarterback Case Keenum followed behind with a 139.8 rating.

2

Receiving touchdowns by Collin Johnson

Johnson was Rypien's top target Thursday night, hauling in the QB's first and third touchdown throws.

The four-year pro, who is in second season with the Bears, totaled a team-high 56 yards on three receptions.

Hall of Fame Game suspended early due to weather

The Bears-Texans matchup ended with 3:31 remaining in the third quarter due to severe weather concerns, as rain pouring down and lightning flashed at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium.

In 1980, the Chargers-Packers game ended with 5:29 left due to a severe storm and in 2003, the Packers-Chiefs matchup ended with 5:49 remaining in the third quarter due to lightning and heavy rain.

5-1
