Chicago 17 at Tampa Bay 9

At the beginning of the season many felt, me included, that the Buccaneers would be a real threat to win the NFC.  The big question of course was still their offense, but they played well those first two weeks.  Then the bottom dropped out of their offense and they shipped off long time starting quarterback Steve Spurrier and started Rich Campbell in week 5.  Not much has changed with the Bucs since this move and this loss at home agains a struggling Bears team seems to confirm that the Buccaneers are not on their way up.    A good win for the Bears who are managing to hang in there around .500 despite having such a poor performing offense.
