Defensive backs Cole Bishop and Damar Hamlin started and struggled during the 38-0 final. Both were beaten for touchdowns with Bishop's standing out more. It was a long play down the field and in the air.

Preseason results rarely matter in the long run, but when the scoreboard shows 38-0 as it did Sunday for the Buffalo Bills in a loss to the Chicago Bears, it's hard to simply shrug it off. Coach Sean McDermott didn't mince words after the blowout, saying the performance from his reserves fell well short of expectations.

The Buffalo Bills suffered a brutal 38-0 beatdown at the hands of the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field on Sunday in their second preseason game. “Certainly not up to our standard, what we expect,” coach Sean McDermott said. “Got a lot of work to do. That’s very clear.”
