Rushing Defense: A-
The Buccaneers have not had much success on the ground this season and the Bears made sure that trend continued this week. Thanks to an offensive line that can be considered as poor at best, the Bucs accumulated just 66 yards on 22 carries for an average of three yards per attempt.
This stat is rather significant considering that Lance Briggs left the game early with a groin injury. Briggs has already missed three games this season with a rib injury and it is not known if his latest injury will force him to miss any additional games.
