After a 38-31 home victory over the Chargers on Sunday got them to 3-1, the Buccaneers didn’t have much time before turning the page to a Thursday Night Football matchup in Chicago against the Bears.
Tampa Bay came into its first primetime game of the season dealing with plenty of injuries. Chris Godwin, Justin Watson and LeSean McCoy were both ruled out ahead of Thursday, plus it was confirmed early in the week that O.J. Howard would be out for the rest of the season with an Achilles injury.
