The Tampa Bay Buccaneers came away with a tough win over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 1, and now, they’re looking to start a winning streak by beating the Chicago Bears at home.
The Bucs started out rough on offense, but they found their groove later in the second half. Quarterback Baker Mayfield threw two touchdowns and kicker Chase McLaughlin also helped lead Tampa Bay to a win with a massive 57-yard field goal toward the end of the game. The defense stifled the Vikings attack, getting three turnovers to limit the team to 17 points across the board.
Here is how the Bucs compare to the rest of the league statistically after the big opening-week win:
