Bill Karr again led the team in receiving, catching 14 passes for 253 yards and 4 touchdowns.
The Bears "vertical" passing attack, led again by Bernie Masterson and Ray Buivid, had a league best 17.0 yards per reception, but the club's quarterbacks only had a 36.5 completion percentage.
In the first Cleveland game, the Bears were totally outplayed, falling behind 14–0 and failing to mount a serious comeback.
Lacking a complete T-formation quarterback, the Bears offense was inconsistent and, at times, quite unimpressive.
Note: during their first bye week, the Bears played an exhibition game on September 23 at Soldier Field against an all-star team of former college players, "the outstanding colored football players in the United States", defeating them by a 51–0 score.
