Bucs’ Run Offense vs. Bears’ Run Defense

Jeff Hanisch-USA TODAY Sports /

Tampa Bay’s leading rusher, Jacquizz Rodgers, will be out with a foot injury. Fellow running back Doug Martin, who hasn’t seen action since Week 2, is listed as questionable with a hamstring injury. Even if Martin is slated to play, there is no telling how effective he would be, considering this week being the first time he’s practiced in nearly two months. Chicago’s run defense shouldn’t have a problem against Tampa’s ineffective running game.

Advantage: Bears
