The Chicago Bears will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, where Chicago is looking to rebound following a brutal Week 1 outing.
The Bears are coming off an embarrassing 38-20 drubbing by the Green Bay Packers, which raised concerns on offense and defense, as well as the coaching staff. While the game was 10-6 at halftime, things spiraled out of control as Green Bay outscored the Bears 28-14 in the second half. Can Chicago get back on track against Tampa Bay?
