The Bears dominated in the first half against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night. But suffered a huge blow in the secondary.

No. 1 pick of the 2024 draft was masterful during first game action in new coach Ben Johnson's offense. But Bears should keep expectations tempered.

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields was unhappy with the offense's performance against the New York Giants.

Still, this is the time of year when most clubs project confidence and optimism that, if everything falls into place, they could wind up in the playoffs and maybe even vie for a Super Bowl berth.
