The Buccaneers started the season 0-4, but they have rebounded nicely, winning three of their last four games, including a 16-0 win against the Atlanta Falcons last week that they managed to pull off without Baker Mayfield completing a single pass in the victory. Quarterback Caleb Williams has been a large force behind the Bears’ recent success, leading the team to three straight wins since returning from a hamstring injury in mid-October. He threw for 247 yards in the team’s recent win over the Seahawks. D’Andre Swift has also been a driving force behind the team’s success, racking up six touchdowns in the team’s last three games as he raced out to the NFL lead in rushing touchdowns so far this season. The Bears are currently third in the NFL in yards per game, averaging 387.3 yards per contest so far this season. Their run game has been a driving force behind that success, as they’re ranked second in the league with 150.8 yards on the ground per game. The Buccaneers are the only team in the NFL better than the Bears in the ground game, averaging nearly 170 rushing yards per game this season. While the two teams’ rushing attacks are the NFL’s best, their run defenses are also at the top of the heap, with the Buccaneers leading the league in allowing just 80 rushing yards per game. The Bears are third in the league, averaging 87 yards against per contest. What’s ahead for the Bears and Buccaneers?
