Well, that escalated quickly.
One moment, the Bears were dinking and dunking their way down the field. The next, they were giving the ball away. In a six-minute stretch over the first and second quarters, they turned the ball over three times.
Interception. Fumble. Fumble.
And the rout was on.
Even though many Buccaneers hadn't taken a meaningful snap in three weeks, they made football look easy Sunday, thumping the Bears 29-7.
A blowout. How about that for a change? Since Tampa Bay joined the NFL four decades ago, it has won 34 games by at least 20 points.
