Bills take on Bears in Week 2 preseason

Buffalo visits Chicago for a primetime preseason clash as Week 2 unfolds and rosters take shape.

Bills take on Bears in Week 2 preseason

The Buffalo Bills travel to the Midwest for a primetime preseason game against the Chicago Bears, airing on Fox at 8 p.m. EDT. Buffalo sits at 0-1 after a 34-25 loss to the New York Giants, while Chicago is 0-0-1 following a tie with the Miami Dolphins. Viewers will watch to see which starters, if any, see action and how the depth chart develops with the regular season looming.

Broadcast details emphasize national attention, with play-by-play by Joe Davis, color commentary from Greg Olsen, and Pam Oliver on the sideline. Fans can stream the game via NFL Plus if they lack access to traditional channels, and Bills fans outside the market can still listen on the Bills Radio Network with Chris Brown, Eric Wood, and Sal Capaccio providing coverage.

This game functions as a testing ground for both teams ahead of the regular season. Buffalo may use the night to gauge depth players and special teams, balancing the desire to evaluate without risking key contributors. Chicago, meanwhile, looks to translate a near miss in last week’s tie into practical gains in rotation and scheme understanding. The national Fox broadcast and the NFL Plus option reflect how the league is broadening its reach, turning preseason football into a consumer product with multiple access points. Injury prevention and player development will shape rosters in the coming weeks, as the league trims from a larger pool to a final 53 and beyond.

Highlights

Rosters will take clearer shape in the days ahead as coaches balance evaluation with readiness.
