Voice of the Fan: Weather can’t deter Bills’ ‘Indomitable Showman’ Josh Allen
‘In a much tougher schedule, in much worse weather conditions, with far more injuries, particularly to the throwing arm of Allen, the 2022 Bills have won three more games at this point than the Brian Daboll-led 2021 squad and have equal or slightly better stats in almost all offensive categories.’

What channel is the Bills game on? How to watch Buffalo Bills vs. Chicago Bears
‘Most of the Bills’ media corps won’t be traveling to the game and will be “covering” it by watching on television just like the fans. Afterward, the Bills will make Sean McDermott and certain players available to reporters for interviews via Zoom, just the way it was done during the 2020 COVID season.’
Revenge game? Syracuse alum will be Bills’ No. 4 DE vs. former team in Week 16
‘Throughout the summer, Jonathan flashed for the Bills. Jonathan played well enough in the preseason for Buffalo that he was claimed off of waivers by the Bears, Buffalo’s opponent on Saturday.

Five Takes: Facing bitter Chicago cold, will Bills keep hot streak alive with sixth-straight win over lowly Bears?
‘Basham’s absence will make a diminished Bills’ pass-rushing unit, already depleted by the loss of Von Miller, a bit more short-handed. Ed Oliver (calf) and Jordan Phillips (shoulder), who missed the last two games, are both listed as questionable to play against Chicago. Phillips was limited in practice throughout the week, while Oliver was limited on Wednesday before being held out of Thursday’s session.’
Sabato: Bills-Bears may come down to which QB is more effective on the ground
‘Sean McDermott has proven he prefers a clock-control offense whenever possible, so it would be hard to imagine the Bills banging their heads against the wall throwing into the wind again, although don’t expect Josh Allen to be limited to three attempts like Mac Jones a year ago.’
Josh Allen is proof of QB development — and Bears’ Justin Fields can be next
