It had mixed reviews because it was a great insight into the team and what they were building, but it was also very &#8220;PG,&#8221; which took away some of the authenticity.<\/p>\n<p>This summer, the Buffalo Bills are the focal point. It isn&#8217;t usual for Super Bowl contenders to be the featured team, but it&#8217;s a nice change of pace.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>The third episode, which aired Tuesday night, was spoiled by the <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/teams\/chicago-bears\/326\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Bears;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Bears<\/a> following their 38-0 thrashing of the Bills in the second preseason game Sunday night at Soldier Field.<\/p>\n<p>The first two-thirds of the episode had practices and meetings that Buffalo went through leading up to the game, including last Friday&#8217;s joint practice with Chicago. But it wasn&#8217;t a fun affair for the Bills when they were dominated by the Bears on national television.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, Chicago&#8217;s starters began the game against the second-string Buffalo defenders, and Josh Allen didn&#8217;t play. But the Bears were only up 7-0 by the time their starters exited. Chicago outscored Buffalo 31-0 from that point on, so there is plenty to be frustrated about if you&#8217;re the Bills.<\/p>\n<p>Usually, the Bears are the team having their fun spoiled by others. This time, it was a change of pace to see Caleb Williams, Ben Johnson, and the entire team made to look good on camera.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>The only positive for Buffalo leaving Chicago is that the players were shown leaving Soldier Field with food from Lou Malnati&#8217;s. Nobody can ever be that upset following a game that doesn&#8217;t count if they can eat some Lou&#8217;s pizza and salad.<\/p>\n<p>For the Bears, it is nice to see them spoil the Bills&#8217; fun, but they need to keep this momentum going. They&#8217;re now headed to play another team that has the cameras on them a lot in the Kansas City Chiefs. There&#8217;s nothing they need more than to see Williams end August on a high note.<\/p>\n<p>Follow Bears Wire on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TheBearsWire\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Twitter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Twitter<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TheBearsWire\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Facebook;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/bearswireusat\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Instagram;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This article originally appeared on Bears Wire: <a href=\"https:\/\/bearswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/bears\/2025\/08\/21\/chicago-bears-spoil-hbos-hard-knocks-episode-3-for-buffalo-bills\/85748478007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Chicago Bears spoil HBO&#039;s &#039;Hard Knocks&#039; episode 3 for Buffalo Bills;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Chicago Bears spoil HBO&#8217;s &#8216;Hard Knocks&#8217; episode 3 for Buffalo Bills<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Last summer, the Chicago Bears were featured on HBO&#8217;s &#8220;Hard Knocks&#8221; during training camp and preseason.
