Bears week 9: vs Tampa SNF on NBC

[jersey cubs fan]

The NFC South hopefuls are streaking, with 2 straight wins against divisional foes despite their qb throwing like 5 times for 7 yards. They’ve run the ball against crappy teams and the Bears have struggled against the run, sort of, but have made a major upgrade in their interior DL. 
 

theoretically, Chicago should go into the bye week with a relative cake walk. But this is the NFL and everybody is good enough to make things difficult for even the best teams.

Let Simmons get his fill, poor guy hadn't played a primetime game since 2023 before last night.

After the bye they have 4 consecutive noon scheduled starts. 3 on a Sunday

I think that Bears-Jags game has a good possibility of being flexed to primetime, but yeah...plenty of noon games coming up.

I guess Benedet hurt his shoulder last night. Hopefully it’s minor. He’s been playing really well.

 

Grady spoke to the media last night and Adam Jahns got the impression his groin injury shouldn’t be an issue.

No letdowns before the bye please.

Absolutely have to take care of Tampa and NO before that hellacious last 8 games where every team but Miami is likely a playoff team.

Classic let-down situation here. Go for the throat

I don't think the team and staff will let down here. The Bucs are better than their record, and probably still the best team in that NFC South division.
