Bears vs. Bills: Live score, how to watch, predictions

The Chicago Bears will face the Buffalo Bills in Week 1 of the preseason on Saturday, which features plenty of storylines.

Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams will make his preseason debut against the Bills after not playing in the extra Hall of Fame game last week. Coach Matt Eberflus said Williams and healthy starters will have a "range of plays" against the Bills on Saturday, but he didn't detail a general play count. Eberflus previously said the aim is to get Williams 45-65 reps between these three preseason games.

With Williams making his debut, questions about the offensive line, Velus Jones Jr. getting a chance at running back and roster bubble players looking to make an impact, there's plenty to keep an eye on Saturday.

We'll be covering all of the action as it unfolds. Follow along here:

Kickoff scheduled for 12 p.m. CT
