The results may not matter, but the Buffalo Bills’ dress rehearsal for the 2024 NFL season begins today against the Bears
The Buffalo Bills kick off their trio of 2024 preseason games this afternoon with a home scrimmage against the Chicago Bears. Head coach Sean McDermott revealed early on Thursday that the team’s starters would play around one quarter on Saturday afternoon.
Though the offense has shown well in training camp at St. John Fisher University, McDermott understands the importance of live game reps with so many new faces on the roster. That impacts quarterback Josh Allen who must continue building new chemistry with a revamped wide receiver room.
Yes, it’s preseason football and the outcome doesn’t matter. Bills Mafia is still going to tune in, and you may be curious how best to catch today’s action. We’ve got you covered, with all the ways to tune in below.
