Whether he wants to be compared to Patrick Mahomes or not, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is a generational prospect who could immediately step in and play like one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. He's that good, and the Bears roster is that good.

His ability to make plays like this out of nothing is why Bears fans are so excited to watch him play. It feels as if for the first time maybe ever, the Bears have a legitimate franchise quarterback capable of leading them to the Super Bowl.

Unfortunately for Bears fans, they will not get another glimpse of Williams when the Bears take on the Kansas City Chiefs in Thursday's preseason finale. They also will likely not get to see Mahomes or Travis Kelce, as Andy Reid noted that that star duo is likely to sit out. They will, however, see a football game featuring players on both teams fighting to make their respective rosters. It might not be a game with star power, but it should be a fun watch regardless.

Chiefs vs. Bears Preseason Week 3 game details

  • Date: Thursday, Aug. 22
  • Start Time: 8:20 p.m. ET/7:20 p.m. CT
  • Location: Arrowhead Stadium - Kansas City, MO

While Williams and Mahomes will likely be held out of action, there should be plenty of intriguing players in the game on both sides fighting for roster spots like Bears preseason standout Daniel Hardy and Chiefs receiver Kadarius Toney.

Thursday's game is more of a tune-up than anything. Many, if not most of the starters will be held out. It's still important to watch because players who might not get as much recognition will be on the field battling for spots on the 53-man roster.
