Offensive spotlight: Both teams gave their starters some playing time in this game, and Josh Allen looked like he knocked any rust off with his performance. He completed 5-of-7 attempts, with one of the incompletions a dropped pass, averaging 7.0 yards per attempt in the process. The ball was out of his hands quickly and crisply unlike last week, with an average time to throw of just 2.53 seconds.
Defensive spotlight: Damar Hamlin isn’t just back on the field for Buffalo after his horrific cardiac incident and near-death experience during last season, but he’s playing as much as anybody. His 35 snaps in this game were the second-most on Buffalo’s defense. Hamlin made two defensive stops, tied for the most on the Bills defense and even rushed the passer a couple of times on the blitz. Hamlin figures to feature again for Buffalo, something that seemed inconceivable for a while last season.
Rookie spotlight: Bears cornerback Tyrique Stevenson was the most heavily targeted player in the game, seeing the ball come his way seven times in 26 snaps in coverage. Stevenson allowed six catches for 67 yards and a touchdown, but he also had an interception. Stevenson also had a missed tackle during the game and likely won’t be on his way to an exceptional PFF grade even with that turnover.
