The Week 10 matchup between the Chicago Bears and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers may not be the first game most football fans would want to watch this week, but that doesn’t change the fact that this contest has the potential to be a major turning point for one of these teams. The Bears (2-6) are well-rested after their bye week, and are looking for their first back-to-back wins of 2016. The Bucs (3-5) will not only be trying to end a two-game skid, but will also be in search for their first home win since Week 13 of last season.

Both Chicago and Tampa Bay have stumbled out of the starting blocks, resulting in a disappointing first half of the year. By the end of this game, one team could be headed for a complete turnaround for the second half of the season, while the other ball club could continue their downward spiral. Which team will it be?
