Bucs’ Pass Offense vs. Bears’ Pass Defense

Bucs quarterback Jameis Winston is tied for fourth in the NFL with nine interceptions, but the second-year veteran has only thrown one pick in the last four games. Chicago’s 12th ranked pass defense may present a problem for Winston, but Bucs wide receiver Mike Evans may be a bigger problem for the Bears’ secondary. Evans’ 745 receiving yards is the fifth-most in the NFL, and his eight touchdown receptions lead the league. If Chicago’s pass rush doesn’t continue to flourish, then Evans could easily add to his league-leading numbers.

Advantage: Bucs
