Bears vs Bucs Preview
The Bears won when these two teams met last year, 20-19, but a great deal has changed for Chicago, including starting quarterbacks. Nick Foles was under center last year, and now, rookie Justin Fields will get the nod against Tom Brady.
Both teams enter this game banged up, however. Rob Gronkowski (TE), Richard Sherman (CB), Antonio Brown (WR) and Lavonte David (LB) will miss for the Buccaneers, while the Bears top running back, David Montgomery will miss, as will starting safety Tashaun Gipson. Bears tight end Jimmy Graham and pass rusher Robert Quinn are also doubtful, as they’re in the COVID-19 protocol, so this one is likely going to come down to whichever teams makes more big plays.
The Bucs have the best run defense in football, allowing just 54.8 yards per game on the ground, while running the ball is Chicago’s strong suit. The Bears have the 7th best rushing attack in the NFL, averaging 129.0 yards per game, and even with Montgomery out, Damien Williams and rookie Khalil Herbert have been solid in relief. Last week against the Packers, Herbert gained 97 yards and averaged 5.1 yards per carry, while also finding the end zone once.
“They’re a stout run defense,” Bears head coach Matt Nagy said about Tampa Bay’s front seven. “They’ve got a lot of great players on that front line, the second level with their linebackers. And I think the amount of respect that I have for Todd Bowles as a defensive coordinator and what he does is real. So, that combination of how he schemes and then the players they have, I think there is a reason why they are that good.”
As for Brady and the Bucs, they enter the game boasting the league’s best passing offense. Brady currently leads the NFL in passing yards (2,064), while scoring 32.5 points a game. On the opposite side of the spectrum, the Bears are last in the NFL in total offense, netting just 246.2 yards per game. That said, Tampa Bay head coach Bruce Arians is still concerned about Chicago’s mobile rookie quarterback, who could be on the verge of a breakout sometime soon.
“You never know with a young quarterback what’s going to happen. … He’s big, he’s athletic, he’s got a tremendous arm,” Arians said about Fields. “And he’s faster than Jalen Hurts. We had a little trouble containing him, so we’ve got to do a better job of keeping him in the pocket.”
