Bears quarterback Justin Fields runs during the first quarter against the Bills.

The Bears offense started the preseason with offensive fireworks and ended it with a dud.

Playing behind a makeshift offensive line, Justin Fields went 2-for-6 for 51 yards and ran three times for 16 in a 24-21 loss to the Bills on Saturday at Soldier Field.

Fields played the first quarter plus one snap. He left after the first play of the second quarter, a third-and-10 screen pass to running back D’Onta Foreman. Fields was knocked down by Bills defensive tackle Ed Oliver on the play, went to the sideline and was replaced by rookie Tyson Bagent.
