SCORE UPDATE: Bears 38, Bills 0 with 9:35 remaining

Chicago, with Austin Reed at quarterback, has led the Bears on a 14-play, 86-yard drive that — thankfully — chews up more 7-and-a-half minutes of clock.

Ian Wheeler caps it with his second rushing touchdown of the game.

Trubisky’s night is done: He finished 7-for-13 for 56 yards. Had a nice drive abruptly end in the red zone on a fumble by Gore, but all in all it’s been a dreadful night for the offense with a 25-yard completion to Kristian Wilkerson as the Bills’ longest play from scrimmage.

END OF THIRD QUARTER: Bears 31, Bills 0

Bills GM Brandon Beane joins the FOX broadcast midway through the third quarter.

• Beane said the team tried to get James Cook signed in the spring, hit pause and resumed talks throughout training camp. Beane said the team had a conversation with Cook after the first preseason game and got him back on the practice field with a deal following shortly thereafter.
• Beane said by January/February the front office felt team needs up front on the defensive side of the ball could be filled through the draft.

The Bills’ most promising drive of the game comes to a screeching half as Frank Gore Jr. has the ball stripped inside the red zone as the Beane segment comes to a close.

SCORE: Bears 31, Bills 0 with 8:33 remaining

Mitch Trubisky starts the second half for the Bills and has Buffalo in plus-territory after throwing it up to Tyrell Shavers in man coverage down the near sideline and drawing a defensive PI flag.

Joe Brady dials up a play-call on 4th-and-8 from the Bears’ 37-yard line. Trubisky has to chuck it deep off his back foot for Ray Davis, who has no shot to make a play.

A promising series ends with the Bears taking over near midfield after a face-mask penalty on Richard Gouraige.

Halftime: Bears 28, Bills 0

The Bears came out playing their starters while the Bills rested theirs, but that is about the only consolation for Buffalo fans after an ugly half that will sound the alarm on a secondary that didn’t look up to the task.

Bears quarterbacks finished the first half 17-for-26 for 279 yards and two touchdowns, dicing up an undermanned Bills defensive backfield that wasn’t at full strength.

Still, second-year safety Cole Bishop had a rough start misplaying a 36-yard touchdown reception by Olamide Zaccheaus. Rookie Jordan Hancock and veteran Dane Jackson were beat by Tyler Scott in tight zone coverage midway through the second quarter.

Mike White got the full share of snaps in the first half and did nothing to suggest he’ll unseat Mitch Trubisky to be the team’s No. 2 quarterback. White took a couple of third-down sacks, overshot some open receivers and finished just 4-for-11 for 54 yards on five empty possessions (with three three-and-outs).

Caden Davis missed a 56-yard field goal wide right on the final play of the half.

Overall, it’s been a stinker.

The Bills offense continues to struggle. Zach Davidson gets flagged for a 15-yard face mask penalty.

White then overshoots Elijah Moore before Moore drops a throw underneath.

On 3rd-and-10 with 1:16 remaining in the half, White is a touch too long for Shavers, who gets a great release but can’t come up with the catch. He may have taken his eye off it and slowed his stride just enough to come up short on White’s deep ball.

SCORE UPDATE: Bears 28, Bills 0 with 1:50 remaining

Rookie Dorian Strong gets turned around a bit and Burden shakes free for some extra yardage of a 21-yard gain. Burden is up to 49 yards on three catches.

Bagent then hits Samori Toure over the middle on a 24-yard completion placed just above the fingertips of Andreessen.

The Bears are absolutely shredding the Bills’ back-seven. Bagent, again in rhythm, hits Miles Boykin on a well-timed curl route for 11 yards.

Bears’ quarterbacks are 15-for-21 for 262 yards and two touchdowns heading into the 2-minute warning.

Chicago primed to punch it in on the other side of the stoppage.

On 4th-and-goal from the 1, Burden throws a block on Hancock to take him out of the play, and Hoecht can’t wrap low on Ian Wheeler.

SCORE UPDATE: Bears 21, Bills 0 with 9:42 remaining

White may be playing himself out of the backup quarterback race. He takes a third-down sack for another three-and-out. The Bears take over at their own 39-yard line with 12:06 remaining in the first half.

Bagent finds Tyler Scott on a well-designed play to set the Bears up at the Bills’ 21-yard line. Scott takes the toss and picks up 35 yards before Hancock pulls him down.

Bagent with a nice timing pattern with Burden on the out route to convert on 3rd-and-6. Tre Herndon couldn’t do anything about that.

Bagent rolls right on the play-action boot: Scott outruns the zone defender Hancock to the back-right corner of the end zone. Dane Jackson trailing late coming across the field, and it’s another defensive eye sore for the Bills.

SCORE UPDATE: Bears 14, Bills 0 with 13:45 remaining

The Bears ended the first quarter in the red zone with an advantageous 2nd-and-short from the inside the 10-yard line.

Chicago polishes off the drive on the ground. Joe Andreessen had a shot at a shoe-string tackle on Brittain Brown, but he steps out of the tackle and puts the Bears up two scores.

END OF FIRST QUARTER: Bears 7, Bills 0

Mike White gets the start for Buffalo, but the Bills’ offense can’t generate much offense.

After going three-and-out on their opening possession, White hits Tyrell Shavers for a 22-yard completion down the right side of the field before the Bills’ drive stalls.

Tyson Bagent gets the nod on the Bears’ third drive and connects with Luther Burden III for 22 yards across midfield.

Rookie Jordan Hancock, the fifth-round pick out of Ohio State, steps up and meets the ball carrier in the backfield for a TFL.

On 4th-and-2 with less than a minute remaining in the quarter, Bagent dances away from the pressure and flicks it out Maurice Alexander for an easy catch and conversion.

SCORE UPDATE: Bears 7, Bills 0 with 11:01 remaining

The Bears take the opening possession and drive 92 yards in 4 minutes.

The Bills are resting just about all their starters, but Cole Bishop, who is trying to lock down a starting spot at safety, is out there after being limited throughout training camp.

It has not gone well for the second-year, second-round pick out of Utah.

Caleb Williams went 6-for-7 for 97 yards on the opening drive, capped by a 36-yard touchdown to Olamide Zaccheau.

The FOX production crew is in preseason mode, as well.

The broadcast goes to break after the Bears touchdown with 0-0 score dubbed as the final.

The Bills continue their preparation for the 2025 season on Sunday night against the Chicago Bears.

The two teams held a joint practice Friday in advance of their second preseason game. Second-year wide receiver Keon Coleman made a spectacular one-handed touchdown grab; the Bills pass-rush got after quarterback Caleb Williams; and Joe Andreessen continues to make an impression on a linebacking unit led by Matt Milano and Terrel Bernard.

Bills coach Sean McDermott didn’t offer much on how he planned to utilize his starters in Sunday night’s game.

Josh Allen did not play in the team’s preseason opener last week against the Giants, allowing backups Mitch Trubisky and Mike White to take the bulk of the snaps as they battle for the No. 2 spot on the depth chart. White is looking to bounce back from a down day of practice.

Aside from the QBs, the depth in the secondary and at receiver continue to be the most intriguing roster spots to watch as cutdown day approaches.

The Bills’ defensive line depth is also looking to build on last week’s strong showing.
