The Chicago Bears held off the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 27-24 at home, extending their winning streak to 4 games. Arriving at 3-6, the Buccaneers still kept the game close to the finish. At home the Bears are now 4-1, and they are 3-1 on the road.
Luther Burden III did the most damage, with 7 catches, 97 receiving yards and 1 TD. Caleb Williams went 22 of 37 passing for 279 yards and 2 TD. He also threw 4 INT, so the Bears won the game despite repeated giveaways through the air.
At 7-2, the Bears sit 2nd in the NFC North, trailing the Vikings at 6-1. The Lions sit at 6-2 and the Packers at 6-3, so every team in the division has a winning record. They hold the 5 seed today, and their only loss in the last 5 games came at the Packers in Week 5.
The run game is the clearest strength at 142.0 rushing yards per game, 3rd of 32, while ball security lags at 1.9 turnovers per game, 28th of 32. D'Andre Swift leads that ground attack with 545 rushing yards this season. Dillon Thieneman leads the defense with 69 tackles, and Austin Booker tops the team with 4.0 sacks.
Next up are the Saints at 3-5, followed by a trip to the 6-2 Lions and a home game against the 6-2 Jaguars. That stretch turns hard after the Saints, since both later opponents hold winning records. The Bears are in the race with 8 games left, and the Week 12 trip pits them directly against a division rival.
