Bucs score to start third quarter, trail Bears 17-13
Bucky Irving put a 2-yard run in the end zone, cutting Chicago's lead to 17-13 with 11:37 left in the third quarter.
Key points
- That came after Mayfield had converted third-and-3 with a 7-yard pass to Chris Godwin.
- The score was set up by a 58-yard pass from Baker Mayfield to Tez Johnson.
- Chicago cornerback Kyler Gordon also went down on Mayfield’s deep pass to Johnson, holding his left arm as he came off the field.
In his halftime interview with NBC, Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that he didn't go for a touchdown to close the second quarter largely because his team was going to receive the second-half kickoff with a chance to double up.
On the injury front, Bears defensive back Tyrique Stevenson is questionable to return with a hand injury.
Additional details
- It was a big boost to an offense that had scored just three points off three interceptions in the first half.
- Buccaneers safety Antoine Winfield is out with an ankle injury.
