How to watch and stream the Buffalo Bills-Chicago Bears preseason game on Saturday

Bills fans will want to see how the defense looks, namely who ends up starting at safety , while also paying attention to the exchange between new center Connor McGovern and Josh Allen . Also, and obviously, rookie training camp standout Keon Coleman will draw plenty of eyes and his rapport with Allen continues to grow.

Bills vs Bears will feature Josh Allen vs. Caleb Williams

This game, for a preseason game, has about as much intrigue as NFL fans could hope for. This year's No. 1 overall pick, Caleb Williams, will get his first taste of the NFL, surrounded by newly-paid wide receiver D.J. Moore, fellow rookie Rome Odunze, and veteran Keenan Allen.

No rookie quarterback, ever, has had the talent and supporting cast that Williams does. He is primed to take the field with every opportunity to live up to his Mahomesian potential.

Williams is truly a special, generational prospect. I don't say that lightly. I hate throwing around cliches, but Williams deserves the hype. His ability to operate from a clean pocket, as well as pull a rabbit out of his hat on a broken play, makes him as exciting a quarterback prospect as you'll see. The eyes of the NFL world will be tuned to this preseason game to see how Williams reacts to seeing NFL defenses, and it could be a game that is shown around the league for years to come if Williams hits his ceiling.

Football is back, people.
