The Tampa Bay Buccaneers hadn’t played their starters in a month, but there was no evidence of rust in their win over the Chicago Bears. The Bucs dominated from beginning to end and gave Mike Glennon’s new team no room to breathe, walking away with a 29-7 win.
While the Bucs’ offseason was filled with excitement over DeSean Jackson and O.J. Howard, the team’s two new offensive weapons barely showed up on the stat sheet and it was the defense that drove this easy win. In a replay of last year’s game, early Bears turnovers gave the game to the Bucs before it could really start.
