Bears fans got a vivid glimpse of the Ben Johnson era in preseason form as Caleb Williams carved Chicago’s opening drive for a 92-yard TD sequence, finishing with a 36-yard strike to Olamide Zaccheaus. Williams looked decisive, connecting with Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet as Johnson’s offense looked surgically clean and functionally creative. Williams’ first showing was efficient (5-of-6 for 97 yards on that first possession, plus a later 6-of-10 for 107 yards, a TD and a 130.0 rating). The run game thrived behind a renewed blocking profile, and Ian Wheeler returned from injury to pace the rushing attack with two touchdowns on 19 carries for 80 yards. Chicago’s defense stifled Buffalo in a 38-0 romp, even without several starters, underscoring a preseason-ready, scheme-savvy squad. Austin Reed and Tyson Bagent kept drives alive late, while the Bears offense stayed relentless, setting up a likely strong roster-position push heading toward Kansas City.
