Ryan exploited the Bears secondary by throwing short passes to Tight End John Stupar and Roscoe Parrish and Justin Jenkins. John Stupar lead the with 6 rec. 56 yards and has been one of the surprise this of pre-season and could be the missing part to the Bills struggling offense inside the Red Zone.

The Bills pass rush was solid and it was lead by second year veteran Chris Ellis who had a sack and a fumble recovery after a Copeland Bryan sack. The star of the game was rookie Cornerback Ellis Lankster who had two interceptions which lead to two Bills touchdowns.
