Bills Moves at Chicago: Cole Beasley, Bears Ex Join Roster; How to Watch, Betting Odds, Injury Report
The Buffalo Bills head to Chicago for a Christmas Eve matchup against the Bears with the AFC East crown on the line, and the overall No. 1 seed in the conference still in sight.
But coach Sean McDermott isn't letting the team look past the struggling Bears.
“We’re facing a Chicago Bears team that is playing really good football right now and they play extremely hard,” he said. “I think Coach (Matt) Eberflus has done a great job of changing that culture, perhaps, at least from the outside looking in, in terms of how they’re playing.”
The Bills clinched a playoff spot with a win over the Miami Dolphins and can win the division with a win or tie against Chicago or a loss or tie by the Dolphins, who face the Packers this weekend.

The Bears are losers of seven in a row, just one loss short of the franchise record, but quarterback Justin Fields is having quite a season.
Fields has rushed for 1,000 yards through 14 games and is on pace to set the single-season rushing record for a quarterback. He joined Michael Vick and Lamar Jackson as the only signal-callers to reach that mark.
The Bills' roster shuffle includes another elevation for receiver Cole Beasley, along with end Kingsley Jordan, a former Bear, both coming up to the varsity.
