Which Bills Are Standing Out at Halftime vs. Bears?

As the Buffalo Bills head into halftime during their preseason opener against the Chicago Bears with a 6-3 lead, several players have stepped up to make their mark, both offensively and defensively.

Backup quarterback Mitchell Trubisky , filling in after Josh Allen’s brief appearance, has been productive, completing 9 of 17 passes and leading the team in rushing with 12 yards on three carries. Allen, who played only a series, also contributed with a 7-yard scramble, showcasing his mobility early on.

The Bills’ ground game, however, has struggled to gain momentum. Running back James Cook has managed just 2 yards on 4 carries, while rookie Ray Davis has added only 1 yard on 3 attempts. In the passing game, wide receiver Khalil Shakir leads the team with 3 receptions for 28 yards, followed by Curtis Samuel, who has hauled in 2 catches for 23 yards. Rookie wide receivers Tyrell Shavers and Keon Coleman each made their first NFL receptions, adding to the depth of the receiving corps.

Defensively, second-year linebacker Dorian Williams has been a standout, recording 5 solo tackles and 1 sack, demonstrating his potential as a key defensive contributor this season. Cornerback Rasul Douglas has chipped in with 3 solo tackles, while safety Damar Hamlin and rookie safety Kendall Williamson have each recorded 2 tackles, contributing to a solid defensive effort.

As the second half approaches, the Bills will look to capitalize on their opportunities and tighten up their play to finish strong against the Bears.
