As the Chicago Bears narrowly defeated the Arizona Cardinals on the road in week three, the page now turns to week four.
Matt Nagy and co. will have their hands full in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers one week before the Chicago Bears bye week. The Buccaneers have emerged as one of the NFL’s most dangerous teams this season. The passing attack features Mike Evans, DeSean Jackson, Chris Godwin, and a towering duo of tight ends in Cameron Brate and O.J. Howard. Aside from having playmakers at just about every position on offense, Tampa Bay also features a red-hot quarterback in Ryan Fitzpatrick who has tossed 11 touchdowns so far.
Plain and simple, the Buccaneers are the most dangerous offense the Bears have faced all season. They can attack an opponent using size or use speed to create big plays. This is an offense that can create mismatches and at any given point, make a big play.
Each week, we’ll be previewing the Bears regular season matchup. Additionally, we’ll examine what the Bears must do to win. What are the key players on the opposing team that the Bears will need to stop? Each week, will the offense or defense make a bigger impact?
