The Buffalo Bills will find themselves in front of a national audience often during the 2025 NFL season. In fact, they get an early jump on primetime action when they travel to the Windy City for a Week 2 preseason matchup against the Chicago Bears.<\/p>\n
With a slate of three preseason games, the second exhibition has taken on the role of \u201cdress rehearsal\u201d for most clubs. That\u2019s likely to hold true for head coach Sean McDermott and the Bills, which means a larger audience should get to watch more of Buffalo\u2019s starters in action. It\u2019s also the only Sunday game on the team\u2019s preseason schedule.<\/p>\n

Certainly, one should not expect the Bills to reveal too much in front of a huge audience tuned in to NBC\u2019s preseason Sunday Night Football broadcast. What we may find the most clarity in pertains to roster spots and the depth chart. That is: who starts with whom, and in what packages are certain players featured above others?<\/p>\n
The least amount of roster drama is at quarterback, where all of Bills Mafia will again be living in Josh Allen\u2019s world in 2025. Allen makes for must-see TV, and you can bet that One Bills Drive will do all they can to ensure he\u2019s well-insulated from contact and injury against a Bears team hungry to show their improvements.<\/p>\n
When considering their preseason appearance in front of a primetime audience, the Bills will play a total of six times in the national spotlight \u2014 including two Thursday Night Football on Prime games. Adding in the four additional Sunday spotlight games during the 4 p.m. ET window, Buffalo sees itself in front of large television audiences a combined 10 times (plus the potential for a Week 18 flex).<\/p>\n
This is great news for members of Bills Mafia who don\u2019t live within the team\u2019s local broadcast window. Traditionally, Buffalo\u2019s preseason games have been limited to local audiences only, often early afternoon or evening Saturday affairs.<\/p>\n
