Bucs' defense starting to jell, rush and coverage working as one

TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers rebounded from disastrous defensive performances against the Oakland Raiders and the Atlanta Falcons to have one of their best performances last Sunday against the Chicago Bears.

Granted, they weren't facing a division leader like they did in two straight weeks prior -- quite the opposite against a then 2-6 team, -- and Jay Cutler had one of his worst outings ever, but it showed improvement and it's something to build on as the Bucs prepare to take on the Kansas City Chiefs.
