A tie in preseason? Stranger things have happened.

Last week, the Chicago Bears walked away from their first game of NFL Preseason with a 24-24 tie against the Miami Dolphins. This week, they seem determined to win. How determined, you may ask? They’re playing all of their starters, including Quarterback Caleb Williams.

Meanwhile, Josh Allen’s status remains a mystery.

Who will walk away victorious from this Bears Preseason home game? There’s only one way to find out, and we have all of the info below.
