Caleb Williams impresses in preseason win over Bills

Jones said he was more than willing to move from receiver to running back, a switch that took place to begin the practice week.

“God blessed me with speed, size and physicality, so why not?” Jones said. “Anything to help this team out and increase value.”

The Bills cut the gap to 13-6 on Bass’ 49-yard field goal late in the period after defensive end Daniel Hardy sacked quarterback Shane Buechele for a 6-yard loss.

Early in the fourth quarter, Micah Baskerville produced the play of the day by the Bears defense. Stepping in front of running back Frank Gore Jr., the first-year linebacker intercepted a Buechele pass and returned it 53 yards for a touchdown. Santos missed the extra point, but the Bears led 19-6.

“I saw the quarterback go through his reads,” Baskerville said. “I just went ahead and took my guy, and he threw it to him.”

Asked what he was thinking during his return, Baskerville said: “Don’t get caught by the QB? That’s it.”

Booker added two more sacks of Buechele on back-to-back plays in the fourth quarter, increasing his total to 2.5 on the day.

“It was a great feeling, a rush of energy and I can’t wait to do it again,” Booker said. “I’ve just got to watch the film to see how [I] can improve. There’s always stuff I could have done better. I probably could have had two more sacks.”

Hardy also generated 2.5 sacks for a Bears defense that recorded eight sacks and did not allow a touchdown in the game.

Rookie running back Ian Wheeler followed with TD runs of 7- and 8-yards on consecutive possessions with 6:03 and 2:24 remaining to widen the margin to 33-6.

“It’s something I’ve been working towards for a while,” Wheeler said. “Unfortunately, I didn’t get to play in the last game, so my teammates helped me get into the end zone twice and that’s [something] I could be happy about.”
