Leads two long drives in NFL debut Williams completed four of seven passes for 95 yards and added a 13-yard run in Saturday's 33-6 preseason win over the Bills.
Impact Williams led a pair of long drives in his highly anticipated NFL debut, but both of them stalled out in the red zone as the Bears settled for a pair of field goals. The rookie first overall pick had completions of 42 yards to running back D'Andre Swift and 26 yards to tight end Cole Kmet, but the wide receiver trio of DJ Moore, Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze combined for only two catches, both by Moore. Williams will likely get a chance to clean up the red-zone struggles and build chemistry with his receivers in next Saturday's preseason game against the Bengals.

Impact Williams and key starters for Chicago were kept on the sidelines of the Hall of Fame Game last Thursday, but the rookie No. 1 overall pick is in line to handle the first snaps of his NFL career in Buffalo on Saturday. Coach Matt Eberflus said Williams and the first-team offense will be fielded for a "range" of designated plays, but declined to offer a tangible estimate for how many series the starters will handle. Tyson Bagent, Brett Rypien and Austin Reed will be in line for reps under center after Williams has taken his allotment of snaps.
