During Sunday's game between the Chicago Bears and the Buffalo Bills, the three-time Super Bowl champion, who was at Soldier Field for live coverage on FOX, tried to use a mathematical equation to talk about how the Bears' starting quarterback, Caleb Williams, was sacked 68 times last season.

"Well, I'm not a maths guy. What's 2-70," Edelman said.
"I think you mean 70-2," Menefee replied to which Edelman said. "Yeah same thing."

Julian Edelman talked about his expectations for Caleb Williams this upcoming season under new coach Ben Johnson.

"I expect Caleb Williams to go out there, get hit less," Edelman said. "Ben Johnson is going to be able to scheme up great first progressions. ... So going out there and get hit less, is going to be the key."

Caleb Williams played two series during the Bears' 38-0 victory over the Bills. He completed 6 of 10 passes attempted for 107 yards, along with a 36-yard TD pass to Olamide Zaccheaus. After a disappointing 5-12 debut last season, fans will hope for a playoff run from the quarterback this year under Ben Johnson.

Julian Edelman shares thoughts on Stefon Diggs' return from ACL injury

Stefon Diggs missed out on the rest of the season after sustaining an ACL injury in Week 8 against the Colts. In March, he agreed to join Edelman's former team, the New England Patriots, on a three-year deal worth $63.5 million.

Last week, Julian Edelman shared some positive news regarding Stefon Diggs' recovery. According to Edelman, the WR is making progress ahead of schedule.

"Diggs made some big plays. He's looking good. He's seven months out of ACL surgery," Edelman said.
"The hardest thing to get back when you have the ACL is the endurance strength. Like, you can get and do your stuff like one out of 10 times ... So like he's already, I feel, ahead of schedule. He looked pretty good."

Stefon Diggs hasn't made an appearance during the Patriots' preseason games. It will be interesting to see if he does so in Week 1 against the Raiders on Sept. 7.
