5 things to watch for in Bills vs. Bears | Week 16

‘The circumstances are similar this week against Chicago’s quarterback, who became just the third signal caller in NFL history to rush for 1,000 yards in a single season, joining Jackson and Michael Vick, in Justin Fields. Fields reached exactly 1,000 rushing yards last week when he ran for 95 yards on just 15 carries in a close loss to Philadelphia (25-20). Eighty-one of those yards came in the first half.’

Game Predictions | Bills vs. Bears | Week 16

‘The Bills being favored by more than a touchdown seems like too much, considering how the Bears’ defense — healthier after the team’s late bye week — played with better purpose against the Eagles last Sunday. The expected brutal-cold temperatures could be an equalizer here. Buffalo’s defensive line needs to show it can slow a physical running game, which Chicago possesses, especially with the return of Khalil Herbert.’

Bills’ schedule puts pressure on preparation

‘Over the season’s first 16 games, the Bills have played only half at the standard NFL 1 p.m. starting time. The other eight featured two Monday nighters, three on a Thursday, one of those on Thanksgiving, a Sunday late afternoon national telecast and a Saturday nighter.’

‘“We’ll do the same thing just so we’re not putting ourselves in tough situations,” Dorsey said. “For last week, if there was snow accumulating on the ground, certain cuts with the receivers and tight ends we didn’t want to make, you know, in fear of going down and throwing the ball to a DB or something like that. So we really just took our game plan that we had, and then we just cut out certain things and just had those in case we needed it for footing reasons moreso than anything. We didn’t need that one. We just used our base game plan, obviously because the footing was good and then even at the end there when the snow was accumulating, it wasn’t enough to affect the footing.’

Inside the Bills: How Bills executives Terrance Gray, Malik Boyd aim to benefit from NFL accelerator program

‘“I would say the biggest takeaway for me was essentially the networking portion of it, with ownership, other executives from ball clubs across the league,” Boyd said in an interview with The Buffalo News. “I saw benefit and value just from the standpoint of exposure. I think that’s the biggest thing, and the networking, so having those options to go out, speak with ownership groups, whether or not it was presidents of teams or the actual owners – those were good, productive meetings.”’

How we see it: News writers offer predictions on Bills vs. Bears

‘The only way Chicago can pull off a shocker? The Bills mess around like Philadelphia did last week. The Eagles had three turnovers and a missed field goal. The Bears generated only seven points off those four situations, but it allowed them to stay in the game (25-20 Eagles win).’

Renewed confidence leads Kaiir Elam back into Bills lineup after rookie lull

‘“I was just tired of being down on myself, tired of trying to be perfect,” Elam said. “I just give it my all and let the work take over. I’m not trying to be perfect anymore. Nothing’s going to be perfect. I just try to give it my all and make sure I’m locked in on what I need to get done.”’
