Bills vs. Bears Preseason: How to Watch, Betting Odds
The Buffalo Bills will play the Chicago Bears in the preseason finale on Saturday as each team caps off another exhibition season at Soldier Field.
Buffalo and Chicago boast two of the most dynamic quarterbacks in Josh Allen and Justin Fields, and both will play on Saturday. But more importantly, each quarterback's backup might be determined by the end of the game.
The Bears are looking at P.J. Walker, who joined the team this offseason and steered Chicago to a 24-17 loss to the Colts last week. Undrafted free agent Tyson Bagent was the star, however, as he led the Bears on a 17-play, 92-yard scoring drive that ended with the rookie running in for a 2-yard score. Veteran Nathan Peterman is also in contention.
Buffalo has had an open competition all offseason to back up Allen. Matt Barkley and Kyle Allen are both being considered. Barkley threw three picks against the Steelers while Kyle Allen went 12-of-15 for 112 yards and a touchdown.
