Caleb Williams made his preseason debut for the Chicago Bears on Saturday, leading a pair of first-quarter scoring drives in a 33-6 win over the Buffalo Bills. After Chicago opted to sit its entire first unit in its preseason opener against Houston, Bears fans were left waiting to see the No. 1 overall pick in this summer’s NFL Draft.
