Chicago Bears Dominate Buffalo Bills in Preseason Opener
The Chicago Bears delivered a dominant performance at Soldier Field, shutting out the Buffalo Bills 28-0 in their second game of the 2025 NFL preseason. The victory showcased the Bears’ revamped offense under new head coach Ben Johnson and offered fans a glimpse of hope for the upcoming season.

Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams impressed in his preseason debut, leading two scoring drives and finishing with 107 passing yards on six completions, including a touchdown. Backup Tyson Bagent continued the momentum, efficiently guiding the offense and connecting on a touchdown drive late in the half. Rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III stood out with key blocks and several notable catches, further highlighting the Bears’ young talent.

On defense, Chicago was relentless, holding Buffalo to just 47 first-half yards and denying them a single point through three quarters. Defensive end Austin Booker recorded his fourth sack of the preseason, leading the NFL in that category. The only setback for the Bears was a knee injury to cornerback Terell Smith, who had been having a strong training camp.

The Buffalo Bills, playing without most of their starters, struggled to generate offense. Quarterbacks Mike White and Mitchell Trubisky were unable to spark a comeback, and the team’s lone first-half scoring opportunity—a 56-yard field goal attempt—missed wide as time expired. Bills linebacker Joe Andreessen, recently featured on HBO’s “Hard Knocks,” notched four tackles and a forced fumble by halftime.

While preseason results aren’t always predictive, this commanding win boosts optimism for the Bears as they continue to build under their new coach. For complete scores, stats, and highlights from the preseason, visit Chicago Bears Scores, Stats and Highlights on ESPN.
