Sean McDermott injected some fresh excitement into the game with his announcement Thursday that Josh Allen and the Bills starters would take the field for about a quarter on Saturday. Bears coach Matt Eberflus said the same of Caleb Williams, meaning an Allen-Williams showdown will be the highlight of the afternoon game. It makes the already-dirt-cheap tickets to the preseason game that much more tempting for fans in the area.
It marks the opening of an exciting season ahead for the Buffalo Bills, where Allen, Dalton Kincaid and Keon Coleman will square off with some of their biggest rivals in the league, including Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs and Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets. Buffalo went 11-6 last season, before being eliminated from the Playoffs in the Divisional Round by Mahomes and the Chiefs, who would go on to win the Super Bowl.
