Canton, Ohio ? Rookie Kyle Orton brought a breath of fresh air to the often-stale Chicago Bears offense.

Orton riddled Miami’s third-string defense on two late touchdown drives, lifting the Bears past the Dolphins, 27-24, in the Hall of Fame game Monday night.

The fourth-round draft pick from Purdue connected with Carl Ford for a 43-yard score with 7:23 remaining. After Olindo Mare was short on a 54-yard field goal try, Orton guided Chicago 56 yards, keyed by a 34-yard bullet to Eddie Berlin and a third-down interference penalty by Miami’s Deandre Eiland.

Zack Abron ran it in from the 4, disappointing all the Dolphins fans wearing No. 13 jerseys in the crowd of 22,292. One day earlier, former Miami quarterback Dan Marino was inducted into the Hall, along with Steve Young, Fritz Pollard and Benny Friedman.

Orton’s strong performance – 7-for-11 for 175 yards – spoiled the debut of Nick Saban as an NFL coach and Ricky Williams’ return to the Miami lineup. And the Bears got another stellar showing from a rookie, second-round pick Mark Bradley. The former Oklahoma receiver had a Hall of Fame game record 131 yards on five receptions.

Another rookie QB, the Dolphins’ Brock Berlin, marched his team to the 15 before being intercepted in the end zone by Jerrell Pippens in the final moments.

Chicago quarterback Rex Grossman looks for an open receiver against Miami. The Bears beat the Dolphins, 27-24, in the Hall of Fame Game on Monday in Canton, Ohio.

Saban, who left LSU after a highly successful career in college to rebuild the Dolphins, didn’t get much from Williams. Indeed, there was nothing much reminiscent of the Marino days for the team coming off a 4-12 record, its first losing season since 1988.

Williams entered on Miami’s second series and had a 2-yard run. He had another 2-yard run and gained 2 yards on a swing pass on which he stumbled during the next possession. In the second period, Williams had runs of 3, 2 and minus-1. He finished with 8 yards on five carries.

That was it for the former rushing king, who will sit out the first four games of the regular season under an NFL suspension for violating the substance abuse policy.
