What happened: Baker Mayfield completed a pass to Tez Johnson just short of the end zone in the Buccaneers' Sunday Night Football game at the Bears.
Why it matters: Tampa Bay entered 3-5 through eight games, riding a two-game win streak after a 16-0 win over Atlanta. Chicago entered 6-2 and has won three straight.
By the numbers: Mayfield has completed 68 of 110 passes for 679 yards with 3 touchdowns and 2 interceptions in 2026 through 5 games. Johnson has caught 9 passes for 178 yards and 1 touchdown in 2026 through 8 games.
What to watch: Tampa Bay now needs to turn the field position into points against a Bears defense that allowed 17 in a 34-17 win at Seattle last week.
