These are four observations from the Buffalo Bills 41-15 preseason win over the Chicago Bears

Unlike their first preseason game where the Buffalo Bills didn’t secure the win until the final drive, this week’s preseason game seemed to be over with at halftime. The Bills didn’t waste much time as they scored on six of their first seven drives and built a 34-6 halftime lead.

The second half was a different story as the only points scored by the Bills was a 79-yard punt return by Marquez Stevenson. Meanwhile, the Bears with Justin Fields leading the offense was a little more effective than Andy Dalton but didn’t really put any pressure on the Bills with only nine points in the fourth quarter.

While the final score may not matter, there was still plenty of newsworthy notes from this game and these are my top four observations for the Buffalo Bills in the second preseason game.
