Bears fans get to see their new quarterback, Caleb Williams, in true game action for the first time on Saturday during the team's preseason game against the Bills.
During Williams' first drive in a Bears uniform, he made some strong plays, including a nifty shovel pass to D'Andre Swift under heavy pressure from the Bills' defense for a 42-yard gain.

Williams flashed his ability to remain patient in a collapsing pocket in this play. He also made a great throw to DJ Moore before this play, throwing a bullet to the team's No. 1 receiver for a first down on 3rd & 13.
After the game, head coach Matt Eberflus complimented Williams' ability.
"You guys have seen it in practice, his ability to get the ball out of his hands really fast when pressure arrives," Eberflus said. "And that happens sometimes on those screens. I thought he did a really nice job getting the ball to him cleanly. And, obviously, Swift is a guy who's really dynamic and has really got a lot of speed."
