Chicago Bears vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Storylines
The Chicago Bears finally made the right call to bench Mitch Trubisky, and while there are still plenty of doubts regarding Foles’ ability to lead this team, their offense has looked less stagnant with him under center.
Chicago’s defense continues to dominate with Khalil Mack as their top pass-rusher and they promise to give Tom Brady a lot of trouble on Thursday Night, especially if Chris Godwin is once again unable to suit up.
Brady is coming off one of the best performances of his career. He had 5 touchdown passes for the first time since 2017 and found 5 different receivers for every score for the first time in his career.
He’s clearly developed some strong rapport with Mike Evans and Scotty Miller, while Ronald Jones II has done an outstanding job on the ground to provide some balance to their offense. Notably, OJ Howard will be out for the season so we may finally see Rob Gronkowski getting more involved in the passing game.
