Buffalo Bills vs. Chicago Bears Analysis
Buffalo Bills’ Offense Primed for Success in 2023: A Comprehensive Analysis
Josh Allen is ready for the 2023 season. There is no doubt the Super Bowl is on his mind after seeing Kansas City and Cincinnati alternate the last three seasons. Allen has not gotten a ton of preseason, as the Bills used Matt Barkley and Kyle Allen in their last game. During the regular season a year ago, Allen was atop most all NFL Player Stats for quarterbacks. Barkley was miserable in the loss to the Steelers, throwing three interceptions.
Looking at the NFL team stats, the rest of the offense for Buffalo appears to be ready to go. James Cook should get the workload in the backfield, and the combination of Stefon Diggs, Gabe Davis, and Dawson Knox will guide the passing game.
The Buffalo Bills schedule sees that they will face a tough test in Week 1 as they are at the New York Jets for Monday Night Football. Buffalo comes home in Week 2 and takes on the Las Vegas Raiders.
Justin Fields’ Evolution: Overcoming Struggles and Showcasing Strengths
The Chicago Bears have a very interesting quarterback in Justin Fields. Fields is getting more bets to win the 2023 Most Valuable Player than any other player in the league.
Fields struggled for much of last season but was stronger down the stretch and ran the football well. The signal caller from Ohio State Buckeyes finished with over 2,200 passing yards and 1,100 rushing yards.
David Montgomery is gone, which gives Khalil Herbert more opportunities to run the football. The receiving core added a tough weapon in D.J. Moore from Carolina Panthers.
Moore was brought right into the fire and scored for the Bears in his first preseason game. The Bears did not get a ton out of their receiving core a season ago, as Cole Kmet led the team with 544 receiving yards.
Chicago has a big game in Week 1 as they host their biggest rival, Green Bay Packers.
