Chicago travels to warm Tampa Bay for an NFC Divisional matchup. On paper the undefeated Bears are prohibitive favorites. Coach Opheim though reminds his team what happened in week 4 as the underdog Panthers walloped the Cowboys. The Bucs found tough going all day against the Bears managing only 6 first downs and 123 yards of offense. Still Tampa Bay's defense for most of the game kept them withing striking distance.
Tampa Bay's slow rebuild is taking place. It won't be long until they will be in playoff contention.
