Coming off a 24-24 tie to the Miami Dolphins in Week 1 of the preseason, the Chicago Bears are set to take on the Buffalo Bills in front of a national crowd on FOX.
The number of storylines going into this game is too much to count for the Bears. It all starts with how the starters will look in the new offense to who is going to win the starting job at left tackle. Even the defense has their own questions regarding who will make the final roster with a deep secondary.
This might be one preseason game that garners the most attention in August before the Bears step on the field for Week 1 of the regular season against the Minnesota Vikings.
Can Caleb Williams run Ben Johnson's offense to perfection?
The moment everyone has been waiting for: Bears quarterback Caleb Williams running head coach Ben Johnson's offense for the first time.

Friday's joint practice was a good indicator of where the Bears' secondary is after making life tough on Bills quarterback Josh Allen. Safeties Jaquan Brisker and Kevin Byard appear to already be in midseason form, but what about the cornerbacks? Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon are out, so who will be the guys to step up? Watch for Nahshon Wrigth, Terrel Smith, and Josh Blackwell to make some noise.

How much pass rusher can Bears get on against Bills' offensive line?

Last week, the Bears saw the potential of their depth on the defensive line thanks to Austin Booker's impressive three-sack performance.
