Players to watch versus Buccaneers

Offense: Receiver Alshon Jeffery
Jeffery enjoys an excellent rapport with quarterback Jay Cutler, who will make his second straight start Sunday in Tampa after missing five games with a sprained right thumb. In Cutler's first game back Halloween night against the Vikings, he connected with Jeffery on four passes for 63 yards and one touchdown—Jeffery's first score of the season.

The Bears star receiver produced 105 and 96 yards in the first two games this year while playing with Cutler and then averaged 63.8 yards in the five contests the veteran quarterback sat out.
