Details of Caleb Williams' First NFL Quarterback Matchup Announced

On Thursday, fans got a glimpse of what to expect from Caleb Williams in his first NFL quarterback showdown.

The Chicago Bears' rookie sensation and number one draft pick will face off against Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills in a highly anticipated preseason matchup.

Bills head coach Sean McDermott revealed that Allen will play about a quarter on Saturday, alongside most of the Buffalo first team.

This game marks both Williams' and Allen’s first action this preseason. Although it’s the Bears’ second preseason game, Williams didn’t see playing time in the Bears-Texans Hall of Fame game, which ended early due to inclement weather.

Williams, aiming to establish himself after being the top pick in the draft, will face a significant test against Allen, who has firmly entrenched himself as one of the league's premier quarterbacks.

Allen is second in the NFL with 157 touchdown passes since 2019, trailing only Patrick Mahomes. Additionally, Allen is second in NFL history with 53 rushing touchdowns by a quarterback, only behind Cam Newton.

As the preseason progresses, seeing Williams in action against a formidable opponent like Allen brings excitement to fans and builds anticipation for the regular season.
