The Bears are looking to bounce back from a tough Week 1 loss, while the Buccaneers are looking to pull off another upset win.
Chicago’s season opener didn’t go as planned, falling to the Packers 38-20 at home. Quarterback Justin Fields threw for 216 yards, one touchdown and one interception, and he even added 59 yards on the ground, but it wasn’t enough to overcome first-time starter Jordan Love’s stellar debut.
In the first game of the post-Tom Brady era, the Buccaneers stunned the Vikings in Minnesota to pull off one of the most shocking results of Week 1. New starting quarterback Baker Mayfield threw for 173 yards and two touchdowns, connecting with star receiver Mike Evans for six receptions, 66 yards and one touchdown.
Will Mayfield be able to pull off some more magic at home against Chicago? Or will Fields respond from a poor first game and continue on his path as one of the league’s most electrifying young quarterbacks?
Here’s how to watch Chicago and Tampa Bay face off on Sunday.
