The Bills vs Bears live stream today brings Mitchell Trubisky back to Soldier Field, but Chicago fans will have their sights set on their new franchise guy if he’s cleared to play in this NFL live stream.
The Bills vs Bears live stream will begin today (Saturday, August 21) at 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT. It will air on the NFL Network.
Veteran quarterback Andy Dalton started for the Bears last week as they hosted the Dolphins in their preseason opener. Dalton was the favorite to win the starting job at least until rookie and eleventh overall pick Justin Fields was ready to take the reins. Well, Fields may have already done that. It’s questionable whether or not Fields will see time against the Bills as he battles a groin injury, but he certainly left an impression after his pro debut.

Fields entered the game at the start of the second quarter and struggled at first, but settled in to put on a show. He helped engineer a scoring drive in the final minutes of the first half that ended with a 53-yard field goal as time ran out in the second quarter. It was the Bears’ first points of the game.
In the third quarter, Fields began to dominate. The Ohio State product tore up the Dolphins for a rushing and throwing touchdown to propel the Bears to a 17-13 lead. Fields’ passing touchdown came on a 30-yard strike to a wide open Jesse James with just under four minutes to go in the third quarter.
To add to the QB drama, Dalton isn’t done fighting for the number one spot, the 33-year-old telling reporters this week, ”Justin's gonna have a great career but right now, it's my time.”
As for the Bills signal caller, Josh Allen sat out Buffalo’s preseason opener against the Lions. Former Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky started in his place. Even if Trubisky doesn’t start this time around, he will still get significant playing time Friday night against the team that drafted him second overall just four years ago. No official word yet on Allen’s expected playing time in Buffalo’s second preseason game.
The Bears host the Bills as 4.5-point favorites. The over/under is 38.

In the US, Bills vs Bears live stream is going to be broadcast at 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT on Saturday (August 21) on the NFL Network, which is available with most cable packages and on two of our favorite streaming services: Fubo TV and Sling TV.

A more comprehensive package comes from Fubo TV, as it has all five of the main channels you'll want: CBS (built right in), ESPN, FOX, NBC and the NFL Network. RedZone is available in the $10.99 per month Sports Plus add-on. That's why it's one of the best streaming services.
It's a case of "you get what you pay for" as Sling Orange & Blue (which you'd need to get ESPN, FOX, NBC and NFL Network) costs $50 per month, while the Fubo TV Standard package gives you all of the above, for $65 per month.
