Josh Allen & Starters Play, Buffalo Bills Beat Bears in Preseason Finale

Transcript

00:00 Maybe in part because the Buffalo Bills looked kind of listless last week against the Pittsburgh

00:08 Steelers.

00:09 Coach Sean McDermott in the final preseason game for Buffalo decided let's have Josh Allen

00:14 and the starters go out there and show us something.

00:16 And so they did.

00:18 And then they got him the heck out of there.

00:19 Mike Fisher reporting on the preseason finale.

00:23 The Buffalo Bills beat Chicago 24 to 21.

00:27 That's not particularly significant.

00:29 It is notable that the primary guys, the Josh Allens and the Stevon Diggs and that

00:35 level of guys escaped without serious injury.

00:38 Josh Allen in this game played in that first series 5-7 for 49 yards, led a touchdown drive

00:43 early on and then he was done.

00:45 Kyle Allen comes in as the next quarterback and to some critics performed in a way that

00:51 causes Bills fans to understand why maybe Buffalo attempted to make a trade for Trey

00:57 Lance who ended up of course in Dallas and that was a fourth round pick that the Cowboys

01:03 gave up to make that happen.

01:05 The Bills were in the bidding, did not want to bid that much so now between Barkley and

01:10 not Josh Allen they've got to figure things out at quarterback.

01:14 Darrington Evans made his bid to make this roster.

01:17 Nine carries, 65 yards and a spectacular touchdown.

01:20 As I mentioned Diggs did play on offense, so did Cook, so did Gabe Davis.

01:25 The entire regular offense playing early on.

01:28 Listless in Pittsburgh means punishment here, maybe not so much punishment, maybe it's just

01:33 let's make sure we get things tuned up for when games really do matter and now suddenly

01:40 they do.

01:41 All the focus after we get the Bills through their Tuesday cut down time and those cuts

01:45 can begin as quickly as right now.

01:49 That'll go on for the next three days and then the deadline of course is Tuesday and

01:54 then all attention turns to week one where the theoretically rejuvenated Jets featuring

02:01 Aaron Rodgers get a chance to try to nip at the heels of a Buffalo Bills team that has

02:06 won three straight AFC East titles.

02:09 Final score in the final exhibition game, Buffalo 24, Chicago 21.

02:15 Fish out.
