The NFL Week 9 slate of Sunday games will cap off with a Sunday Night Football matchup between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-5) and the Chicago Bears (6-2).
The Bears lead the all-time series between these teams, 40-22, and the home team has won the past six meetings. They last faced off back in 2023, with the Bucs winning in Tampa Bay, 27-7.
Baker Mayfield is back for the Buccaneers, and the team is fresh off a win with zero completed passes. The weather conditions will be much more favorable on Sunday night, so they might not have to rely so heavily on their ground game.
Here’s everything you need to know about tonight’s game.
